Package: kernel-package Version: 13.018+nmu1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Since kernel commit 3812b8c5c5d5 ("kbuild: make -r/-R effective in top Makefile for old Make versions") make-kpkg is unable to build a kernel because the VERSION variable is not valorized in debian/ruleset/misc/version_vars.mk. While at it, can you please quote all the $(VERSION) occourrences? This will produce more meaningful error messages than: /bin/sh: 1: [: -lt: unexpected operator /bin/sh: 1: [: -eq: unexpected operator /bin/sh: 1: [: -eq: unexpected operator /bin/sh: 1: [: -gt: unexpected operator /bin/sh: 1: [: -ge: unexpected operator /bin/sh: 1: [: -lt: unexpected operator /bin/sh: 1: [: -eq: unexpected operator /bin/sh: 1: [: -eq: unexpected operator Cfr. https://git.kernel.org/linus/3812b8c5c5d5 Regards, Matteo Croce per aspera ad upstream -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers cosmic-updates APT policy: (500, 'cosmic-updates'), (500, 'cosmic-security'), (500, 'cosmic') Architecture: arm64 (aarch64) Kernel: Linux 5.0.2 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages kernel-package depends on: ii bc 1.07.1-2 ii binutils 2.31.1-6ubuntu1 ii build-essential 12.5ubuntu2 ii bzip2 1.0.6-9 ii dpkg-dev 1.19.0.5ubuntu5 ii file 1:5.34-2ubuntu0.1 ii gettext 0.19.8.1-8ubuntu0.1 ii kmod 25-1ubuntu1.2 ii po-debconf 1.0.20 ii xmlto 0.0.28-2 ii xz-utils [lzma] 5.2.2-1.3 Versions of packages kernel-package recommends: ii cpio 2.12+dfsg-6 pn docbook-utils <none> ii kernel-common 13.018+nmu1 pn uboot-mkimage <none> Versions of packages kernel-package suggests: ii libncurses-dev 6.1+20180210-4ubuntu1 pn linux-source <none> -- no debconf information
