Hello, After further testing, I managed to clear out some of the problems with the package. One remains, though. I setup rules to exec configure, with --mandir=/usr/X11R6/man, and manpage sufix=1x, in the Makefile. The result for this is a debian package with an aterm.1x in /usr/X11R6/man/man1, and another "aterm.1" in /usr/share/man/man1. I don't know why I get this second man page around, but I guess it's something in the rules file. I've tried many, but cannot get rid of it. A solution is to set the mandir to /usr/share/man, and install the manpage into that dir. Quoting the Debian-Policy: You must install manual pages in nroff source form, in appropriate places under /usr/share/man. You should only use sections 1 to 9 (see the FHS for more details). You must not install a preformatted 'cat page'. I understand EVERY manpage, both for X programs or normal ones go into /usr/share/man. Lintian doesn't agree: $ lintian ../aterm_0.3.6-1_i386.deb E: aterm: manpage-for-x11-binary-in-wrong-directory usr/X11R6/bin/aterm usr/share/man/man1/aterm.1.gz Where should I install the manpage? The manpage that gets installed in share has a problem, anyway. I tell the Makefiles that the sufix is 1x, and that is installed correctly using /usr/X11R6/man, but that sufix is ignored if it's installed on /usr/share/man. I guess it's a problem with a rule. Any clue? Thank you, Jordi
