Hi, I seems that fakeroot is being called automatically, then. What is the exact command that you use to build your package? I guess one of: pdebuild debuild dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot fakeroot debian/rules binary > But the probable reason why it fails would be because I don't know how > to use dh_installchangelogs! Probably not, using dh_installchangelogs is extremely easy. It has its own manpage, by the way. The point is that the process needs to be root in order to set the right permissions. You normally achieves this by using fakeroot. > I could install a virtual machine if I wanted to, but if people from > debian-astro have an unstable/testing or other debian-based rencent > systems, that would be easier, and fixing the packaging would probably > go a lot faster. You need to be able to test the package yourself, you are going to be the primary maintainer. Installing a chroot is easy and cheap (it does consume some hard drive space, but that's all). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot https://wiki.debian.org/Schroot Kind regards, Thibaut.
