Re: build bug or change?

[Michael Borella <cathmike@xnet.com>]

That doesn't seem to work either.  This is weird because about a week
ago, I had no problem building packages.  Now I can't get any to
work.  I did upgrabe a few times, so perhaps there is a bug in 
debstd?  Or is there something obvious that I'm missing?

Once again, here's the error output (which is the same for all packages):

gcc -o ipgrab ipgrab.o parse_cl.o error.o open_pcap.o version.o addrtoname.o ethernet.o raw.o slip.o ip.o in_cksum.o udp.o tcp.o arp.o payload.o -lpcap

Perhaps the control file is not being read properly?
