error when building package
Hello,
when i run "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot" to create a package, i get the
following error:
dpkg-deb: parse error, in file `debian/esms/DEBIAN/control' near line 6 package
`esms':
`Depends' field, missing package name, or garbage where package name expected
dh_builddeb: command returned error code
while my debian/esms/DEBIAN/control file looks correct:
Package: esms
Version: 0.8.5-1
Section: comm
Priority: optional
Architecture: i386
Depends: ,perl-base, libwww-perl
Suggests: fortune
Installed-Size: 44
Maintainer: Robert Millan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Description: [...]
[...]
and so does my debian/control file:
Source: esms
Section: comm
Priority: optional
Maintainer: Robert Millan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Standards-Version: 3.0.1
Package: esms
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, perl-base, libwww-perl
Suggests: fortune
Description: [...]
[...]
note that i have tried putting perl-base, libwww-perl before ${shlibs:Depends}
to avoid that strange comma and yet didn't work.

Definitely incorrect. What's happening is that shlibs is returning no
dependencies, or you're not running it. If you've commented out dh_shlibdeps
in your debian/rules file, then remove the ${shlibs:Depends}, section from
debian/control, otherwise comment it out and remove the ${shlibs:Depends},
section anyway.

Hello, I also had the problem of dpkg-deb: parse error, in file `debian/tmp/DEBIAN/control' near line 6 package `bloksi': `Depends' field, missing package name, or garbage where package name expected dh_builddeb: command returned error code make: *** [binary-indep] Error 1 It seemed to disappear when I put the "Depends" line in the first paragraph.
