dpkg-genchanges failing - why?

["Oliver Elphick" <olly@lfix.co.uk>]

I'm trying to build a new release of smalleiffel.

At the end of the build I get: 
 dpkg-genchanges
no utmp entry available, using value of LOGNAME ("olly") at 
/usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl line 16.
dpkg-genchanges: error: package smalleiffel in control file but not in files 
list

This also happens in the build of the previous version (which worked
correctly  at the time I built it), so I assume that dpkg-genchanges has
changed somehow.

I use dpkg-genchages in some other packages where it works correctly;
unfortunately I cannot see any significant difference between the packages.

Please tell me how to get round this problem.


debian/control contains:

  Priority: extra
  Maintainer: Oliver Elphick <Oliver.Elphick@lfix.co.uk>

  Package: smalleiffel
  Architecture: i386
  Depends: gcc, ${shlibs:Depends}
  Description: The GNU Eiffel Compiler
   SmallEiffel is a compiler for the Eiffel language [etc]

(I get the same problem with `Architecture: any', which is what it ought
to be.)
