Public bug reported: This is a bug report on "kernelpackage". Launchpad won't let me give "kernelpackage" as the package, so, um...
According to this bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=348264 This bug is supposed to be fixed in kernelpackage 10.x. I installed kernelpackage 10.049ubuntu4 from edgy onto my dapper system (changing no other packages), and I got the same bug or a similar one: time sudo make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-yumyum1 kernel_image kernel-headers ... dpkg-gencontrol: error: package linux-headers-2.6.15.7-ubuntu1-yumyum1 not in control info dh_gencontrol: command returned error code 65280 make: *** [install/linux-image-2.6.15.7-ubuntu1-yumyum1] Error 1 I worked around it in the same way that the original bug reported for the debian bug did -- by editing the debian/control file. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed ** Summary changed: - --append-to-version made it fail + kernelpackage: --append-to-version made it fail -- kernelpackage: --append-to-version made it fail https://launchpad.net/bugs/58305 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
