Hi! I've just upgraded one of my package's control files from 3.0.1 to 3.1.1 and now I can't get the damn thing to build correctly. The one problem I'm having is with the configuration file. I have the following in conffiles: ------------< snip <------< snip <------< snip <------------ abz@oasis:/tmp/work/ixbiff-0.02b/debian$ cat conffiles /etc/ixbiff.conf ------------< snip <------< snip <------< snip <------------ However, if I run debstd, I get the following: ------------< snip <------< snip <------< snip <------------ abz@oasis:/tmp/work/ixbiff-0.02b$ debstd ------------- debstd processing for GNU/Linux -------------- -- Installing Documentation -- Looking for manpages in sourcepackage ixbiff.1 ixbiff.conf.5 ** Main Package ixbiff -- Adding /etc/init.d maintenance commands for ixbiff defaults 20 Warning: Configuration file /etc/ixbiff.conf not provided in binary package! chown: debian/tmp/usr/share/doc: Operation not permitted chown: debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/ixbiff: Operation not permitted chown: debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/ixbiff/copyright: Operation not permitted chown: debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/ixbiff/changelog: Operation not permitted chown: debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/ixbiff/README: Operation not permitted chown: debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/ixbiff/TODO: Operation not permitted chown: debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/ixbiff/ixbiff.html: Operation not permitted -- Checking for executable binaries in package DEBIAN/postrm Script DEBIAN/postinst Script DEBIAN/prerm Script etc/init.d/ixbiff Script -- Compressing/Converting Manpages -- Compressing Documentation -- Checking Symlinks --------------- debstd processing finished -------------- As you can see, it won't add ixbiff.conf as a configuration file. I can't figure out why it can either (the error messages really suck - can't you make it more verbose?) Also, why is chown failing? What's it trying to chown the files to? Any help would really be appreciated PS: The structure of my source tree is as follows: ------------< snip <------< snip <------< snip <------------ abz@oasis:/tmp/work/ixbiff-0.02b$ find -type d . ./debian ./debian/old ./man ./src ./doc ./contrib ./templates ------------< snip <------< snip <------< snip <------------ and the configuration file is in the src directory. So maybe it can't find it? Doesn't make any sense though, since with the 3.0.1 control files, it was found. -- Regards Abraham Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds.
