The end of the process looks like this: setup - Run OOo network install from the instsetoo directory, installing to debian/tmp install - Copy files from tmp into the correct locations for the final package layout in debian/openoffice.org and debian/openoffice.org-bin, and make adjustments to file paths, desktop files etc. langpack - Extract language-specific files from the language instsetoo directories and move into the langpack directories debian/openoffice.org-l10n-XX binary-arch - Build openoffice.org-bin package binary-indep - Build non-archspecific packages: openoffice.org and the language packs You can also generate a single package with the command: fakeroot debian/rules binary-<packagename> e.g. fakeroot debian/rules binary-openoffice.org-l10n-en will generate a specific .deb. But normally you should have generated those .debs already. Maybe there is a problem with the control file. Do you see langpacks listed in debian/control? Chris
