Bug Description
Binary package hint: checkinstall
Checkinstall fails to build some packages, for instance kmess.
Copying files to the temporary directory...OK
Stripping ELF binaries and libraries...OK
Compressing man pages...OK
Building file list...OK
Building Debian package... FAILED!
*** Failed to build the package
dpkg-deb: parse error, in file `/var/tmp/
`Depends' field, invalid package name `%{kdelibs_
From the error message I get the impression that checkinstall is not compatible with the recent changes Ubuntu made to dev packaging.
This is using Kubuntu 8.10.
Checkinstall 1.6.1-7ubuntu1
I initially reported this as a kmess bug, but authors think that this is a checkinstall problem, see the discursion:

Thanks you.
