Doing these steps seems to work: 1) svn co svn://svn.debian.org/glibc-bsd/trunk/kfreebsd-7/ 2) cd kfreebsd-7/ 3) modify line 33 of debian/rules from "control: clean" to "control:" 4) make -f debian/rules control 5) chmod +x debian/rules 6) sh fetch 7) dpkg-buildpackage
I usually do (as normal user): 1) ... 2) ... 3) cp debian/control.in debian/control 4) fakeroot debian/rules control 6) ... 7) dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc Hope it helps Petr
