Hello, I asked the following question on stackoverflow:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60288751/debuild-dependencies-set-but-without-version As I wrote in this post I have custom package (zs-boost_1.71.0_armhf.deb) that install libraries to /opt/deps (which is not a big problem since we install on BeagleBone with custom image on SD-card, also because of few exotic requirements it is a necessity). I'm trying to build yet another package using libraries from aforementioned package. I put in debian/control (among other stanzas) the following: Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Package is built using: debuild -b -us -uc -aarmhf but resulting deb file lacks version information for zs-boost package even though (seemingly correct) version information is provided for e.g. libc6 package. Generated 'deb' package contains the following in its debian/control: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.9), libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0), libuuid1 (>= 2.16), zs-boost, zs-gcc9, init-system-helpers (>= 1.18~) and file debian/package.substvars contains: shlibs:Depends=libc6 (>= 2.9), libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0), libuuid1 (>= 2.16), zs-boost, zs-gcc9 So I tried to override execution of 'dh_makeshlibs' with: override_dh_makeshlibs: dh_makeshlibs -V but it changes nothing. I also tried to run "dh_makeshlibs -V -v", but the only thing it did (and it promises logging was removing file debian/package/DEBIAN/shlibs, which, curiously enough, does not exist - as far as I know it there in the first place. I don't understand how it is possible that: 1. there is no debian/package/DEBIAN/shlibs file, as it seems that substvars is build from this file, and substvars is there and seems almost correct 2. packages, even though identified correctly, lack version information even with "-V" switch Is it possible that version number is somehow taken from "debian/control" "Source" section, which is severly lacking in my case (there is basically "Source" and "Maintainer" there)? But how is it possible if version is declared in changelog and not in debian/source? Also note that package can be installed, removed, reconfigured and so on and works as long as packages versions are equal to expected ones. Any help will be greatly appreciated. -- Jędrzej Dudkiewicz I really hate this damn machine, I wish that they would sell it. It never does just what I want, but only what I tell it.
