no Package: header / Problem with MergeList

[esell]

Hmm, I've not run into this before but I don't really use deb-simple anymore so I can't say I test it much :). I haven't tested using the arch option so maybe it is something there? I will spin up a VM and take a look...

I think this issue and #30 are the same problem - deb-simple should be copying the contents of the control file into the Packages file, which will contain the Package: options etc.

I'm also getting this (and #30) on Ubuntu 16.04, using a .deb I created using NFPM (https://github.com/goreleaser/nfpm).

deb-simple prints:

error creating package: failed to inspect package: unexpected EOF

I'll investigate further.

@MartinVerges I think this error is only with 1.4.0 - a version I built from master works fine. The fix from #31 is the key.

I am getting this issue with 1.4.1

@MartinVerges this may be due to deb that you're uploading having a LZMA compressed control file. Can you extract the dpkg tar -zxvf and see if the control file has a .tar.xz extension. If so, #38 should fix that
