Oh I see add the subst to the debver.
I have been known to be a little dense sometimes. I'll give it a shot
later today.
No problem with the wine fix. just letting you know. They suggested
wineboot instead of the winepre...
I am happily compiling with version 1.0
Thanks for straightening me out Frank.

Perry, Martin,
The correct fix should be in r37650.
Re the Wine issue: We will try to check this eventually but usually
we build the Wine stuff as well as the Doc stuff in a separate step.
Therefore this issue is not urgent for us.
Kind regards,
Frank

Saw them *but. It appears the VBOX_VERSION_STRING is tied to other
functions of the build and particularly the _OSE. The code you
reference is appended as far as I can tell and the _ (underscore) is
expected in the VBOX_VERSION_STRING unless you replace it throughout the
entire code (which did work by the way, but even nastier IMHO since you
would need to do that with every SVN update). Like I said this is just
a (debian version) hack to get the build to complete until it gets fixed
by only changing the control file versions that Ubuntu dpkg needed to
see to complete. Dirty but works without issues in a short amount of
time. I'll leave the rest to the experts.
As a side note: Ubuntu 11.04 does not work native with the wine hack
(docs .chm) since it uses version 1.3. I needed to uninstall 1.3 and
install version 1.0. Some functions have been deprecated in newer
version of wine as well as dpkg and refused to build.

Have you seen the similar tweaks for _ALPHA and _BETA in the same script?
They look slightly cleaner.

Seems like a find replace and removing the _ (underscore) from _OSE
does the trick. Not pretty but it does prove the fact that the newer
dpkg just does not like the _ (underscore) in the version name
VBOX_OSE. It might work with a - (hyphen) but it does not like a
~(tilde) at all. Complains a lot about blank space in macro.

I knew what the issue was I am looking for a way to get around it.
So far I know it has to do with the illegal character and the fact
that almost everything Linux says that the _ (underscore) is
invalid these days. My dpkg config foo is not that good but I did
manage to fake it out once. Then I had to repair my system. Not to
mention that _OSE is in like 10,000 places in the code.
So the easiest way to fix this is to somehow generate a different
Version string that does not have the _ in the name. That's my
next endeavor anyway.

Any idea how to get around this issue? Debian lenny will complete
with the error but does bark about it.
Looks like the issue is being generated by VBox as the control
file has the exact information that dpkg-deb: is complaining
about.
dh_md5sums: Compatibility levels before 5 are deprecated.
dh_builddeb --destdir /
dh_builddeb: Compatibility levels before 5 are deprecated.

I think the invalid character is the underscore in "_OSE", which is
from the version number generated by VBox.
Somehow Oracle build their packages without OSE, but the source code
they release builds with OSE. There is a thread from a few days
ago here, but it hasn't been resolved yet:
