I was cleaning up an info file to resubmit to the tracker and ran
across an odd bug. I was editing the DescDetail and left a trailing
empty line like so:
DescDetail: <<
Allows you to get or set variables in /etc/hostconfig. Written to make
life
easier for package maintainers and system administrators.
You can use confighost from scripts to easily read values in
/etc/hostconfig
or set them if you have root.
<<
This passes fink validate foo.info ("Package looks good!" ) but when
you actually try to fink install using it, the following error messages
come up:
...
rm -f /sw/src/root-confighost-0.3.9-10/sw/info/dir
/sw/src/root-confighost-0.3.9-10/sw/info/dir.old
/sw/src/root-confighost-0.3.9-10/sw/share/info/dir
/sw/src/root-confighost-0.3.9-10/sw/share/info/dir.old
Writing control file...
Writing package script postinst...
dpkg-deb -b root-confighost-0.3.9-10
/sw/fink/dists/local/main/binary-darwin-powerpc
dpkg-deb: parse error, in file
`root-confighost-0.3.9-10/DEBIAN/control' near line 14:
field name `' must be followed by colon
### execution of dpkg-deb failed, exit code 2
Changing DescDetail to this
DescDetail: <<
Allows you to get or set variables in /etc/hostconfig. Written to make
life
easier for package maintainers and system administrators.
You can use confighost from scripts to easily read values in
/etc/hostconfig
or set them if you have root.

Fixes the problem.
The fink I'm using was cvs updated last night or this morning. I'm
using the December devtools.
[jpb@athena:/sw/src]$ fink --version
Package manager version: 0.11.1
Distribution version: 0.5.1.cvs
[jpb@athena:/sw/src]$
It was driving me nuts because it was working before I cleaned it up to
resubmit.
