Sorry, but what means "as normal" for you? What command do you use? $ debian/rules binary $ debuild # in the source tree $ some-other-fancy-command $ pdebuild # as I did > I'll get back to you in specific details later, but again just as > normal.

At least we can see what you have been trying and inspect your commands. You have two build targets in your rules file. The second overwrites the first results and installs to a weird location: /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 pam_ssh_agent_auth.8 /tmp/buildd/libpam-ssh-agent-auth-0.9.5/debian/tmp/tmp/buildd/libpam-ssh-agent-auth-0.9.5/debian/tmp/usr/share/man/cat8/pam_ssh_agent_auth.8 > And see if you can get anything other than the copyright & changelog > files into the binary package. Sure, remove the second build target and additionally, there are several control files that need renaming as you renamed the package. pam-ssh-agent-auth.* need to renamed to libpam-ssh-agent-auth.* if that is the name of your package. These files contain instructions for dh_* commands. Fixing those two issues, the package builds again with files in the deb. Of course this doesn't mean your finished, but at least you can proceed from there. Paul
