Packages failing to build in trusty

Asked by Jasem Mutlaq

All my packages build fine on everyting from precise to saucy, but fail in trusty with the following error:

 dpkg-source -i -I --before-build recipe-{debversion}+r{revno}-{revno:packaging}
 fakeroot debian/rules clean
dh clean --parallel
   dh_testdir -O--parallel
   dh_auto_clean -O--parallel
   dh_clean -O--parallel
 dpkg-source -i -I -b recipe-{debversion}+r{revno}-{revno:packaging}
dpkg-source: error: can't build with source format '3.0 (native)': native package version may not have a revision
dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-source -i -I -b recipe-{debversion}+r{revno}-{revno:packaging} gave error exit status 255

I don't understand the error above, in debian/changelog, I have this

libindi (0.9.7) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.

So I'm not using any hyphens...etc. What is the problem?

I already looked at that before I opened this ticket, and I still don't know what exactly I have to do in order to resolve this. Can you be more specific of what exactly needs to be done?!

Turns out the solution is to remove the hypthen from the DEB string (and not the actual package name in Changelog). I replaced the hyphen in the recepie deb string with a dot and it worked.
