OK, I've uploaded a version that fixes the broken diff.gz. It replaced
your version and I made no other changes and made sure I preserved all
your work.
There are some more problems with the package:
* you seem to misunderstand postinst - postinst is run when users
*install* the package onto their systems. also, please think
about if you need to remove the rrd database on package purge. I
suggest you read these:
http://women.debian.org/wiki/English/MaintainerScripts
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-mscriptsinstact
* debian/control: please make the homepage comply with devref
6.2.4 until we get a real Homepage field:
http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html#s-bpp-upstream-info
* debian/rules: Please chmod/chown the installed versions rather
than the ones in the package. Please run dh_install in the
install target. Please remove dh_strip/dh_shlibdeps lines and
uncomment dh_testdir. Please comment out DH_VERBOSE.
* lintian/linda complain. I suggest you place these lines in your
~/.devscripts file so lintian and linda are run on every package
build:
export DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS="-us -uc -i -ICVS -I.svn"
export DEBUILD_LINDA=yes
export DEBUILD_LINTIAN_OPTS=-i
export DEBUILD_LINDA_OPTS="-i -s"
* lintian/linda errors that need fixing:
E: queuegraph source: debian-rules-missing-required-target binary-arch
E: queuegraph source: debian-rules-missing-required-target build
W: queuegraph source: maintainer-script-lacks-debhelper-token debian/postinst
W: queuegraph: old-fsf-address-in-copyright-file
W: queuegraph; File /usr/lib/queuegraph/count.sh contained in /usr/lib of Architecture: all package.
W: queuegraph; Maintainer script postinst uses debhelper, but does not use #DEBHELPER#.
