pretty but it does prove the fact that the newer dpkg just

with the illegal character and the fact that almost
everything Linux says that the _ (underscore) is invalid

manage to fake it out once. Then I had to repair my
system. Not to mention that _OSE is in like 10,000 places
in the code.<br>

So the easiest way to fix this is to somehow generate a
different Version string that does not have the _ in the
name. That's my next endeavor anyway.<br>

<pre wrap="">Ubuntu 10.10 latest VBox from svn.
/trunk/src/VBox/Installer/linux/debian rules binary
Any idea how to get around this issue? Debian lenny will complete with
the error but does bark about it.
Looks like the issue is being generated by VBox as the control file has
the exact information that dpkg-deb: is complaining about.
dh_md5sums: Compatibility levels before 5 are deprecated.
dh_builddeb --destdir /
dh_builddeb: Compatibility levels before 5 are deprecated.
dpkg-deb: parse error, in file 'debian/virtualbox-4.0/DEBIAN/control'
near line 2 package 'virtualbox-4.0':

<pre wrap="">I think the invalid character is the underscore in "_OSE", which is from the
version number generated by VBox.
Somehow Oracle build their packages without OSE, but the source code they
release builds with OSE. There is a thread from a few days ago here, but it
hasn't been resolved yet:
