Well, this is not a question. I've just spent several hours wondering what the matter was with a package which refused to build. rules was failing with the following message:
dpkg-gencontrol: error: per-package paragraph 1 in control info file is missing Package line I searched the archive, and found one person which had been having a similar problem. The cause in his case was a missing blank line in debian/control between the Source: block and the Package: block. The cause in my case was that I had put 2 blank lines between the blocks. I post this message hoping that it will save some time to other new packagers. But I cannot help thinking that having a somehow more tolerant parser for control files could help. Well, let's get back packaging! -- Alexandre -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
