Strange, I get dh_gencontrol -- -v180.44-1+custom.1.2 at this stage (the custom.1.2 being the Debian revision of my linux-image package). > dpkg-gencontrol: unknown option `-v' This error message is misleading, since -v is actually a known option, but the version argument is missing. > Usage: dpkg-gencontrol [<option> ...] > > Options: > -p<package> print control file for package. > -c<controlfile> get control info from this file. > -l<changelogfile> get per-version info from this file. > -F<changelogformat> force change log format. > -v<forceversion> set version of binary package. > -f<fileslistfile> write files here instead of debian/files. > -P<packagebuilddir> temporary build dir instead of debian/tmp. > -n<filename> assume the package filename will be > <filename>. > -O write to stdout, not .../DEBIAN/control. > -is, -ip, -isp, -ips deprecated, ignored for compatibility. > -D<field>=<value> override or add a field and value. > -U<field> remove a field. > -V<name>=<value> set a substitution variable. > -T<varlistfile> read variables here, not debian/substvars. > -h, --help show this help message. > --version show the version. > dh_gencontrol: dpkg-gencontrol returned exit code 2 > make: *** [binary-modules] Error 1 > > --- > > I simply edited debian/rules to change "dh_gencontrol -- -v$(VERSION)" > into "dh_gencontrol -- $(VERSION)". Seems to work... Only because $(VERSION) is empty for you, and that is the problem. How did you try to build the module?
