Ubuntu – Problems compiling with Quickly

application-developmentquickly

Welcome to another of my questions about compiling! 😛

So, after days of stress trying to compile my app, first manually, after porting the project to Quickly, I decided to create the project from scratch using this time Quickly. Now I've finished the app, it works great using quickly run and I haven't added any new file, just removed, replaced or modified. But it can't be compiled using quickly package --verbose --extras… why, if there doesn't seems to be errors related with my project?

The fail happens because python-mkdebian doesn't haves enough parameters to work.

The terminal output (in Spanish):

running install_egg_info

In my case, the problem happened because my long description was wrong typed. You just can't add \n (manually or pressing Enter) in the long description of the app... D:
