Re: error when building package
Hello,
I also had the problem of
dpkg-deb: parse error, in file `debian/tmp/DEBIAN/control' near line 6 package `bloksi':
`Depends' field, missing package name, or garbage where package name expected
dh_builddeb: command returned error code
make: *** [binary-indep] Error 1
It seemed to disappear when I put the "Depends" line in the first
paragraph. I kept one copy of the Depends line in the 2nd paragraph;
otherwise no Depends line appears in debian/tmp/DEBIAN/control.
This is not likely to be the right way of doing things.
