dh_maninstall isn't finding control
hello all,
when running dh_installman in
/home/p/debian/pdamaze/pdamaze-0.0.20011005/debian
which is where the man page is, i get the error:
p@satan% dh_installman ./pdamaze.6
dh_installman: cannot read debian/control: No such file or directory
the control file _is_ there, right in between copyright and conffiles.ex.
the error itself makes it sound like you need to be in the upstream source
directory, so i changed directories to:
/home/p/debian/pdamaze/pdamaze-0.0.20011005
and now the error is:
p@satan% dh_installman pdamaze.6
pdamaze.6: No such file or directory at /usr/bin/dh_installman line 98.
i looked at the source for dh_maninstall. you definitely want to be in the
debian/ subdirectory.
it looks like control is opened by some function in package Find or Dh_Lib.
rather than hunt it down, i'd like to ask: what am i doing wrong? the
operation looks simple enough that there must be something i'm doing which is
obviously screwing up the process.
why isn't it finding the control file?
pete
