The code that fails is
LIBOSG_SHARE=`dpkg --get-selections|awk '{print $1}'|grep
libopenscenegraph[0-9]`
LIBOSG_VERSION=`dpkg -l $LIBOSG_SHARE |grep $LIBOSG_SHARE |sed 's/-/ /'
|awk '{print $3}'`
TMP1=`echo $LIBOSG_VERSION|awk -F '.' '{print $1}'`
TMP2=`echo $LIBOSG_VERSION|awk -F '.' '{print $2}'`
TMP3=`echo $LIBOSG_VERSION|awk -F '.' '{print $3}'`
TMP3=$((TMP3+1))
LIBOSG_VERSIONPLUS=$TMP1.$TMP2.$TMP3
echo $LIBOSG_VERSION
dh_gencontrol -- -Vlibosg-share="$LIBOSG_SHARE"
-Vlibosg-static="libopenscenegraph-dev (>=$LIBOSG_VERSION),
libopenscenegraph-dev (<< $LIBOSG_VERSIONPLUS)"
This seems to be trying to create a >= relation on the current
libopenscenegraph "upstream version" and a << relation on the "next"
libopenscenegraph "upstream version" assuming that libosg "upstream
versions" follow the pattern x.y.z where x y and z are integers.
However the current libosg "upstream version" is 3.2.0~rc1 . This means
that the code ends up trying to add 1 to "0~rc1" and fails.
I made two changes to this code in my patch.
1: I added code to strip stuff after the ~ before adding 1
2: I added a ~ to the generated "next version". This ensures that if the
next upstream version has release candidates that they are properly
caught by the << dependency relationship.
Note that this assumes that release candidates are sufficiently
compatible with the corresponding final versions. If they are not then a
stricter dependency check may be needed.
Debdiff attatched, no intent to NMU.
