Did you run lintian on your built package? The version in sid says: I: qelectrotech source: debian-watch-file-is-missing W: qelectrotech source: package-depends-on-hardcoded-libc qelectrotech depends W: qelectrotech source: maintainer-not-full-name laurent W: qelectrotech: extra-license-file usr/share/doc/qelectrotech/LICENSE.gz W: qelectrotech: copyright-refers-to-versionless-license-file usr/share/common-licenses/GPL W: qelectrotech: copyright-lists-upstream-authors-with-dh_make-boilerplate (this is because you still have '(s)' on the end of the author line) W: qelectrotech: copyright-contains-dh_make-todo-boilerplate I: qelectrotech: desktop-entry-contains-encoding-key /usr/share/applications/qelectrotech.desktop:3 Encoding W: qelectrotech: desktop-mimetype-without-update-call /usr/share/applications/qelectrotech.desktop W: qelectrotech: new-package-should-close-itp-bug W: qelectrotech: debian-changelog-line-too-long line 2 W: qelectrotech: debian-changelog-line-too-long line 5 W: qelectrotech: maintainer-not-full-name laurent E: qelectrotech: depends-on-obsolete-package recommends: cupsys-bsd You can see the full texts with more information about how to fix them by using 'lintian -iIE' on your .changes file. I couldn't make your package build in a sid chroot without making some changes to debian/control: - remove invalid field 'Version' - move fields 'Depends', 'Recommends' and 'Suggests' into the binary package where they belong Is there some reason your binary package is Architecture: i386 instead of Architecture: any? There are still a few source files that don't have GPL grants in the headers, consider adding them. licensecheck is a good quick check, but it can be caught out, so check every file by hand too. You could also consider making your changes to qelectrotech.pro and sources/qet.h with a patch system instead of directly. If anything doesn't make sense please ask. -- Jonathan Wiltshire PGP/GPG: 0xDB800B52 / 4216 F01F DCA9 21AC F3D3 A903 CA6B EA3E DB80 0B52
