Ah, so the "ubuntu1" is causing the Perl version-string comparison to fail. It should only be checking "v12.10"... Does squashing this in help? diff --git a/debian/rules b/debian/rules index cd41bb8..73f53fe 100755 --- a/debian/rules +++ b/debian/rules @@ -84,7 +84,8 @@ binary-arch: install-arch # --add-udeb is needed for < 12.3, and breaks with auto-detection # on debhelper 13.3.4, at least if perl -MDebian::Debhelper::Dh_Version -e \ - 'exit(eval("v$$Debian::Debhelper::Dh_Version::version") lt v12.3)'; \ + '($$v) = ($$Debian::Debhelper::Dh_Version::version =~ /\A([\d\.]+)/)' \ + -e 'exit(eval("v$$v") lt v12.3)'; \ then dh_makeshlibs -a; else \ dh_makeshlibs -a --add-udeb '$(libudeb)'; fi Also, just to confirm, does your dh_makeshlibs(1) manpage have this?: Since debhelper 12.3, dh_makeshlibs will by default add an additional udeb line for udebs in the shlibs file, when the udeb has the same name as the deb followed by a "-udeb" suffix (e.g. if the deb is called "libfoo1", then debhelper will auto-detect the udeb if it is named "libfoo1-udeb"). Please use the --add-udeb and --no-add-udeb options below when this auto-detection is insufficient.
