Bug#2261: dpkg

[nelson@crynwr.com (Russell Nelson)]

Package: dpkg

I'm running Debian 0.93R6.  When I try to compile dpkg 1.0.5, in the
.../main directory, while compiling filesdb.c, I get a compilation
error:

$ make
perl insert-version.pl <version.h >version.h.new
cmp -s version.h.new version.h || mv version.h.new version.h
set -e; for d in lib main dpkg-deb split md5sum scripts doc include dselect methods ; do \
		cd $d ; \
		make 'CC=gcc' 'LDFLAGS=' ; \
		cd .. ; \
