Hi, From /usr/doc/kernel-package/Problems.gz (not that one would think of looking there, but this has been seen while building kernels)
g) dpkg-gencontrol fails if LC_ALL is set to de_DE. Actually, I can't really confirm this works for anything except en_US. This is true as of dpkg/dpkg-dev 1.4.0.19. The error actually reported seems to be either that debian/substvars file can not be found, or that the changelog file is empty (eben when the file is not empty). The work around seems to be to set the LC_ALL to en_US while building. This should be fixed soon. manoj -- "The final twitch of "Political Correctness" grand peur has to do with the age-old fear of antinomian beastliness, lesbians holding black masses over copies of Derrida and so forth."
