Marking as grave as I'm now unable to build any packages.
Care to give some examples at least? It has been working for me
with my own packages at least...
I tried with rsyslog and it worked.
Ok, reproduced with tracker. Looking up what's going on.
My bet is that it fails when it encounters a specific symbol file
with a possibly invalid version.
It doesn't seem to be the case. It fails doing
$dependencies{$cur_field}{$subdep} eq '' when the first arg is a Dpkg::Version
object and not a string.
So it's definitely an RC bug.

But it affects only packages build-depending on packages with symbols
files having a * Build-Depends-Package: in their symbols files
(like libgtk2.0-0). That's the way Dpkg::Version objects are introduced
into the mix whereas otherwise all the work is done with scalars...
I have pushed a fix in the sid branch of the dpkg git repo. I would be
glad if you could test it before I upload.

Hi Raphael,
thanks for the quick reaction.
Seems you already uploaded the new dpkg but nevertheless it seems to fix the
problems I had.
Thanks,
Michael
