Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.17.17
Severity: serious
File: /usr/bin/dpkg-shlibdeps

Hi Guillem,

I am not yet certain that this is a bug in dpkg, but I am filing it
prematurely due to the severity of the breakage observed. jenkins.d.n
did run into the dinstall adding dpkg 1.17.17. Almost immediately after
that, packages started to FTCBFS at various points with the error
message:

| dpkg-shlibdeps: error:  is not a valid version

The bad news is that this might mean dpkg is producing broken symbols
files.

Example instances:

https://jenkins.debian.net/job/rebootstrap_arm64_gcc49/93/console
https://jenkins.debian.net/job/rebootstrap_powerpc_gcc49_nobiarch/79/console
https://jenkins.debian.net/job/rebootstrap_mips_gcc49_nobiarch/75/console

It definitely is connected to that dinstall (by timing), but the
likelyhood that dpkg is involved is high.

I'm sorry for not providing more details at this point.

Helmut
