[Sisuite-devel] problems with make deb on Ubuntu/amd64/Dapper 6.06 LTS

I am trying to build debs using the latest code from subversion, and I
encounter this error:

Actually, have you tried the code from branch-4.0.x? I was told that
trunk is actually unstable and you should be using the branch instead:

http://www.systemimager.org:8000/trac.systemimager.org/browser/branches/4.0.x

Cheers,

I checked out the recommended branch and got the same error:

dpkg-deb: parse error, in file
`debian/systemimager-client/DEBIAN/control' near line 6 package
`systemimager-client':

Thanks for the fix -- do you mind merging that to branch-4.0.x too?

Hi Bernard,

I do not have the checkout of the branch on my current machine, sorry
(and no access to any other machine). Will do as soon as i will this
check-out (of course, if someone else wants to do the merge, feel free
to do so).

Regards,
