Eddie Olsson commented on DIRSERVER-1462:
-----------------------------------------
Not quite. The repository has been set up according to the instructions in
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/286.
Package files are added to the repository with:
reprepro -Vb /var/www includedeb kalamondin apacheds-1.5.5-amd64.deb
Where "/var/www" is the repository root directory and "kalamondin" is our
internal release name
I can also confirm that I have successfully added apacheds to the repository by
unpacking the package file, removing the Depends: line in the control file and
repackaging it with dpkg-deb
> Empty Depends field in .deb package breaks repository

> Key: DIRSERVER-1462
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1462
> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: installer-plugin
> Affects Versions: 1.5.5
> Environment: Ubuntu 9.10 with local ubuntu repository
> Reporter: Eddie Olsson
> Assignee: Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot
>
> After adding the debian package to a local ubuntu repository, apt-get update
> on any machine which uses that directory, gives the following error:
> Reading package lists... Error!
> E: Problem parsing dependency Depends
> E: Error occurred while processing apacheds (NewVersion1)
> E: Problem with MergeList
> /var/lib/apt/lists/upd.kontorsplatsen.se_dists_kalamondin_main_binary-amd64_Packages
> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
> The package installs fine with dpkg --install.
> I suspect the problem is that the control file for the package has an empty
> Depends: line. Packages with no dependencies should probably omit the Depends
> line altogether.
