Bug 1658772

Description of problem:

It looks like the Packages.gz file is not correctly generated. It seems to have problems when there are multiple "Depends:" for several packages, each with different version strings


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.7 (on CentOS 6)

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a debian package on a debian system using the "debbuild" tools from https://github.com/ascherer/debbuild/releases

For example to create the debian "rhnlib" or "rhn-client-tool" packages. The sources are within Spacewalk (within ./client/rhel/rhn-client-tools) and followed the guide within ./client/debian/DEBIAN-HOWTO

2. Build the "rhn-client-tool" packages which result (one of them) in
"python2-rhn-client-tools_2.9.33-1debian9_all.deb"

3. Look into the "dependencies" with "dpkg-deb -I python2-rhn-client-tools_2.9.33-1debian9_all.deb" which results in

root@00000:~/debbuild/DEBS/all# dpkg-deb -I python2-rhn-client-tools_2.9.33-1debian9_all.deb 
 neues Debian-Paket, Version 2.0.

 Package: python2-rhn-client-tools

  Python 2 specific files of rhn-client-tools.

 Depends: rhn-client-tools (= 2.9.33-1debian9),rhnlib (>= 2.5.78),python-rpm,python-dmidecode,python-ethtool (>= 0.4),python2-hwdata,gir1.2-gudev-1.0,python-gi,python-pyudev,python-dbus,python-newt
root@00000:~/debbuild/DEBS/all#

The "Depends" line looks good so far (for my knowledge).

4. Transfer the .deb files to Spacewalk (or Uyuni) server and import the packages into a test channel via "rhnpush" and wait for the "Packages" and "Packages.gz" files to be generated withn /var/rhn/cache/repodata/<channel>

Actual results:

The "Depends:" line is wrong. There is a closing ')' between two packages names. Also the version for the second package is missing.

The final result is, that this Packages.gz file is not parseable by a Debian client.

Expected results:

The expected results should reflect the line from the "dpkg-deb -I" call

Additional info:

I can confirm, that this error also occures within Uyuni (spacewalk-backend-server-4.0.2-1.1.noarch)
