Package: debian-kernel-handbook
Version: 1.0.10
Severity: normal
There is a wrong command in section 4.5 Building a custom kernel from
Debian kernel source:
$ make KDEB_PKGVERSION=custom.1.0 deb-pkg
This command fails - after a real long time - with:
dpkg-deb: error: parsing file
'/home/chealer/sources/linux-source-2.6.39/debian/hdrtmp/DEBIAN/control'
near line 3 package 'linux-headers-2.6.39':
erreur dans la chaîne Version « custom.1.0 »: version number does not
start with digit
make[1]: *** [deb-pkg] Erreur 2
make: *** [deb-pkg] Erreur 2
The French says 'error in Version string "custom.1.0"'.
Apparently dpkg-deb no longer accepts Version strings that start with
something other than a digit.
There is however an easy workaround, changing the version string, for
example to "1.0":
$ make KDEB_PKGVERSION=1.0 deb-pkg
