Description

When building on Ubuntu 16 I see the following error from 'make debs':

dpkg-deb: building package 'lustre-tests' in

The 'make' command is fine, only 'make debs' fails.
This failure is only seen on Ubuntu 16, the build works fine in Ubuntu 14.

Now its a hard requirement to sign packages with a developer's key. I have seen this for a while but haven't submitted a patch since it requires a "blessed" person to be chosen to create it. This should be discussed for the next LWG meeting.

just retried this build on the latest kernel version in Ubuntu 16; 4.4.0-36-generic. The issue I reported seems to have disappeared. Don't think I've made any changes that might have done this. I can only assume some build changes went into Ubuntu between the -31 version where the build failed and the current -36 version.

I also just updated but it still fails

James, I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I installed a few more packages between the times of the two bulids too. Try the following:

apt-get install kernel-package

Can't think of anything else I did that might have had positive side effects.

This now works fine
