dpkg-shlibdeps error

[Steve Hsieh <steveh@eecs.umich.edu>]

I am trying to recompile the shadow-passwd package.  However, I hit upon
the following error when calling dpkg-shlibdeps inside debian/rules.  Can
someone tell me the problem suggest a solution?   I am using the latest
debian 1.3.1r6 stable distribution...

dpkg-shlibdeps -dDepends debian/tmp-p/usr/{bin/*,sbin/*}
