No compatibility level specified in debian/compat
 

Dear All,
When i enter following command in ubuntu 12.04


fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-1_5_0_17-linux-i586.bin


The following error appears:


dh_installchangelogs: No compatibility level specified in debian/compat dh_installchangelogs: This package will soon FTBFS; time to fix it! dh_installchangelogs: Compatibility levels before 5 are deprecated (level 4 in use)


Can any one tell me how to fix the isse.

That is not an error. That will not have stopped the install.

PPS. This is the Debian forum.

but after that i found
