I think that you will need fakeroot in there. I believe you want this in order to make it all work. fakeroot apt-get source --build packname Sometimes without fakeroot it appears to work, but then the .deb package will have you as the normal user account owning all of the files. It all depends on if dh_fixperms is in the debian/rules file and things like that. You can list the result and peek to see I the owner of the files is root or yourself. If root then life is good. If the owner is yourself then build it again using fakeroot. dpkg-deb -c package.deb Bob
