Package: kernel-package Version: 12.036+nmu2 Severity: minor Hi.
It's exasperating if the kernel is completely built, and then we find that some parameter which we chose is now illegal: dpkg-gencontrol -DArchitecture=amd64 -isp \ -plinux-image-3.4.0 -P/home/kumar/Software/Kernel/linux-git/debian/linux-image-3.4.0/ create_md5sums_fn () { cd $1 ; find . -type f ! -regex './DEBIAN/.*' ! -regex './var/.*' -printf '%P\0' | xargs -r0 md5sum > DEBIAN/md5sums ; if [ -z "DEBIAN/md5sums" ] ; then rm -f "DEBIAN/md5sums" ; fi ; } ; create_md5sums_fn /home/kumar/Software/Kernel/linux-git/debian/linux-image-3.4.0 chmod -R og=rX /home/kumar/Software/Kernel/linux-git/debian/linux-image-3.4.0 chown -R root:root /home/kumar/Software/Kernel/linux-git/debian/linux-image-3.4.0 dpkg --build /home/kumar/Software/Kernel/linux-git/debian/linux-image-3.4.0 .. dpkg-deb: error: parsing file '/home/kumar/Software/Kernel/linux-git/debian/linux-image-3.4.0/DEBIAN/control' near line 3 package 'linux-image-3.4.0': error in Version string 'kumar1.0': version number does not start with digit make[2]: *** [debian/stamp/binary/linux-image-3.4.0] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/kumar/Software/Kernel/linux-git' make[1]: *** [debian/stamp/binary/pre-linux-image-3.4.0] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kumar/Software/Kernel/linux-git' make: *** [kernel_image] Error 2 It would be nice if make-kpkg checked for these issues before it actually started building the kernel.
