The substvar 'source:Version' as been added into dpkg 1.13.19. With a recent dpkg the line [1] would have been expanded. [1] : Depends: asterisk-classic (>= ${source:Version}) | asterisk-bristuff (>= ${source:Version}), adduser (>= 3.63) To fix your problem simply modify the Depends line of debian/control to something like: Depends: asterisk-classic (>= 1:1.2.12.1.dfsg-1) | asterisk-bristuff (>= 1:1.2.12.1.dfsg-1), adduser (>= 3.63) This is not a bug, but it could be marked as wontfix to keep a trace. Dear maintainers, fill free to change it if you disagree. Cheers, -- Pierre Machard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
