Bug#578613: dpkg-cross: fails with dpkg on experimental

[Hector Oron <zumbi@debian.org>]

Package: dpkg-cross
Version: 2.5.6
Severity: normal


Hello,

  Thanks to prahal for pointing the issue.

  I have upgraded dpkg to experimental version:
ii  dpkg                                 1.15.6.1                 Debian package management system

  Then I try to use dpkg-cross over linux-libc-dev causing a double Provides: line
$ LANG=C sudo dpkg-cross -a armel -b linux-libc-dev_2.6.32-11_armel.deb 
Building linux-libc-dev-armel-cross_2.6.32-11_all.deb
dpkg-deb: parse error, in file '/tmp/dpkg-cross.lYk7jrJk/dst/DEBIAN/control' near line 10 package 'linux-libc-dev-armel-cross':
 duplicate value for `Provides' field
dpkg-cross: building package with dpkg-deb -b failed.
dpkg-cross: conversion of linux-libc-dev_2.6.32-11_armel.deb failed.

  While on unstable dpkg (1.15.5.6):
$ LANG=C sudo dpkg-cross -a armel -b linux-libc-dev_2.6.32-11_armel.deb 
Building linux-libc-dev-armel-cross_2.6.32-11_all.deb
dpkg-deb: building package `linux-libc-dev-armel-cross' in `./linux-libc-dev-armel-cross_2.6.32-11_all.deb'.


Kind regards,
