[jira] Commented: (DIRSERVER-1462) Empty Depends field in .deb package breaks repository

["Eddie Olsson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1462?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12804250#action_12804250 ] 

Eddie Olsson commented on DIRSERVER-1462:
-----------------------------------------

Forgot to mention that it's the amd64 package ( apacheds-1.5.5-amd64.deb ). I haven't tried with the i386 package.

>             Project: Directory ApacheDS
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: installer-plugin
>    Affects Versions: 1.5.5
>         Environment: Ubuntu 9.10 with local ubuntu repository
>            Reporter: Eddie Olsson

> After adding the debian package to a local ubuntu repository, apt-get update on any machine which uses that directory, gives the following error:
> Reading package lists... Error!
> E: Problem parsing dependency Depends
> E: Error occurred while processing apacheds (NewVersion1)
> E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/upd.kontorsplatsen.se_dists_kalamondin_main_binary-amd64_Packages
> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
> The package installs fine with dpkg --install.
> I suspect the problem is that the control file for the package has an empty Depends: line. Packages with no dependencies should probably omit the Depends line altogether.
