I am preparing my first package, and am building it by hand to
get a clearer understanding of the package building process. It will
have two binary packages, dictd and dict, both of which come from the
dictd source.
I have reached the point where the first, and larger, package
produces a .deb, but debian/rules calls an error when dpkg-gencontrol
is called for the second package. The error message is:
dpkg-gencontrol: error: source package has two conflicting values
- dictd and dict
I have two directory trees under debian - debian/tmp and
debian/tmp-dict, and debian/rules builds debian/tmp, then runs
dpkg-shlibdeps, dpkg-gencontrol, and dpkg --build on it. Then it
repeats the process with debian/tmp-dict, which is where the error
occurs.
debian/control starts with "Source: dictd", and has two binary
package sections headed "Package: dictd" and "Package: dict".
dpkg-gencontrol is invoked with -pdictd -Pdebian/tmp for the first
package and -pdict -Pdebian/tmp-dict for the second package.
I have searched the packaging manual, and I think I am in
compliance with the procedures stipulated for source packages that
make two binary packages.
What should I do now?
Bob
