Bug#588178: dpkg-gencontrol: error: package ... not in control info

[Antonio Ospite]

Hi,

I am getting this too. More precisely:
dpkg-gencontrol -DArchitecture=amd64 -isp \
                -plinux-image-2.6.35-rc4-ao2+ \
                
-P/home/ao2/Proj/linux/linux-2.6/debian/linux-image-2.6.35-rc4-ao2+/ \
dpkg-gencontrol: error: package linux-image-2.6.35-rc4-ao2+ not in control info


And in debian/control:
Package: linux-image-2.6.35-rc4-ao2

The problem could be due to this recent kbuild change:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=d5eda75f3a6a08f5a3644764a88d288e62e7823d

I get the added '+' in the package name because I have
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO disabled, but make-kpkg does not seem to
recognize this '+' when building debian/control.

Looking at the error Tino is getting (in particular the -gxxxxxxxx part)
I think both these errors could be related to the very
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO; Tino you have it enabled instead, don't you?

Regards,
   Antonio
