The problem is that clean doesn't need to be run. Policy says you should be be able to build the package by just unpacking and then running 'debian/rules binary'. Buildd's run clean first, but that isn't required, and a FTBFS when clean isn't executed is still a FTBFS. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar Jeroen@wolffelaar.nl (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl
