Re: ZIP library compilation

I was able to get past this error after removing the output of md5sum in debian/rules. But, I still see the following TAR related errors when the build process attempts to do DPKG_DEB. I think these errors are trivial and wanted to know if there is any way DPKG_DEB can ignore these errors from TAR?

Thanks

Hi all,

I was compiling the "Zip" library - the unstable SID version, using dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot.

I got the following error, and was wondering if anyone would have seen it before:

Error: File ./md5sums changed as we read it.

I do see the DEB file generated, but the file is empty (0 bytes). I sense I am pretty close to generating the DEB file, but am not sure how to correct the last error.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks
