You really should set up chroot environment to build your packages. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto and http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/software/pbuilder-doc/pbuilder-doc.html > I am really glad that finally people are helping with the inclusion of > my package into debian since I worked the last couple of weeks alone for > that goal and got really frustrated. But now this is getting better. Better load up some more frustration tolerance, now that you got our attention you’ll probably get lots of unwanted advice and things to fix before the package may enter Debian... ;-) Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer nomeata@debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C JID: nomeata@joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata
