Hi you gurus out there, dpkg-gencontrol suddenly breaks when I try to build a debian-packaged kernel image. The last time I tried this it worked, the system was an upgraded 1.3 then. The only differences between now and then that I can think of are some installed packages from bo-updates, including the libc5. This is more or less what happens:
# make xconfig # make-kpkg clean # make-kpkg -revision custom.4.0 kernel_image .. ..
