Error parsing file

[theone3nu]

When i run this command in debian os
node-deb --server.js /lib I am getting the following error.

dpkg-deb: error: parsing file 'server_1.0.1_all/DEBIAN/control' near line 7 package 'server': end of file before value of field 'Description' (missing final newline)

How to fix this please?

Please copy here the content of server_1.0.1_all/DEBIAN/control file. (The generated file.)

Can you give the full command line with parameters which do you execute? I think problem around the Maintainer.

node-deb --server.js /lib this is the command which i gave.

If you run node-deb --no-delete-temp <other args> it will retain the temp directory used to build the package so you can inspect it. I suspect this error happened because your control file is missing a trailing newline or perhaps you have an empty value for the description.

I had the same issue, you cannot leave out description in the package.json. You must enter something. Also it will give warning about maintainer, but the package will be built regardless.
