Also occurs for nightly arm:

Comment 2 Joshua Lock - Disabled 2012-05-18 16:19:58 UTC 
Caused by the following change:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=2fa80ef30e8f806c4604f87fce84df6a5402a05b

I'm nervous as the commit log talks about RPM only but clearly this affects other package manager back ends.

It looks like dpkg mandates a version number that starts with a digit:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=620566

Newer dpkg has a --force-bad-version to ignore this:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=620566#172

We can likely backport this change:

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=commit;h=6d50a5ac6ae54f4374070e5849070530a6d57a49

If needed in Denzil, or just update dpkg?

Potential fix

The attached patch is a back-port from a change upstream which looks to address this issue.

With the patch applied I can build the eglibc deb package but a do_rootfs fails... I'm not yet certain if this is a by-product of the patch or not.

Rootfs failure log with patch applied

This is my do_rootfs log for a core-image-minimal with the dpkg change applied.
