Bug#141730: dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends}

[ddkilzer@kilzer.net (David D. Kilzer)]

Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.9.20
Severity: minor

When building the cyrus21-impad packages, a warning message is printed
out after "dh_gencontrol -a" is run:

dh_gencontrol -a
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends}

You may view the warning message in the successful build logs for the
cyrus21-imapd package:

  http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=&pkg=cyrus21-imapd

I didn't have the time to track this issue down fully, but I found the
error message is being printed from code in this file:

  /usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl

And I know that dh_gencontrol calls dpkg-gencontrol (hence this bug
being filed under dpkg-dev).

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Dave
