Hi,

Good catch. It seems to be a missing step in the creation of a branch.
I'll try and make a fix later.

Thanx,
Jaap

Hi,

Problem solved.

It's seems this bug is recurrent but doesn't produce same errors.
Indeed, I found an old bug on 1.6.2 with same result (can't build deb packages).
(https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6049)

Problem show up when libraries versions in two following files doesn't match.
These files are debian/wireshark-common.files and debian/wireshark-common.shlibs.

In 1.8.0 release content of the first one is :

    ...
    /usr/lib/wireshark/libwireshark.so.2
    /usr/lib/wireshark/libwireshark.so.2.0.0
    /usr/lib/wireshark/libwiretap.so.2
    /usr/lib/wireshark/libwiretap.so.2.0.0
    /usr/lib/wireshark/libwsutil.so.2
    /usr/lib/wireshark/libwsutil.so.2.0.0
    ...


and second one :

    ...
    libwireshark 0 wireshark-common
    libwiretap 0 wireshark-common
    libwsutil 0 wireshark-common
    ...


So, I just replaced "0"s by "2"s in the second file, and it's now working properly.

I hope this will help someone !

Benjamin.

    Hi,

    Yeah, it seems if Wireshark packages are already installed it can lead to
    some problems. I obviously remove them from my system.

    And as I say, this problem did not occur with a more recent version - on the
    same system.

    Thanks you for your time!

        Hi,

         From the bug comments this seems to depend more on what you have
        installed during the build, rather than a bugfix, which is not yet
        listed for this bug.

        Thanks,
        Jaap

            Hi!

            I have to generate debian package with some home-made plugins.
            Problem is I must
            provide this packages in 1.8.0 version.

            I notice two bugs. First one is noticed and fixed here :
            https://bugs.wireshark.org/__bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7406
            <https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7406>

            Second one here :
            https://bugs.wireshark.org/__bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7408
            <https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7408>

            is not fixed. But I succeed to generate packages on current version
            (svn). I
            guess this bug has been fixed.

            Is anyone can tell me where I can find a patch for this bug?

            Thanks!

            Benjamin.
