These are the simple steps you should follow: As root: aptitude install build-essential fakeroot apt-get build-dep aptitude As normal user: apt-get source aptitude cd aptitude-(version) patch -p1 < thepatchhesent.patch dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot cd .. As root: dpkg -i *.deb There, the patched aptitude is already installed and all you have to do is try to reproduce the bug. Luckily, you won't be able to. If you want to know more about each command, the man pages are a good starting point. -- Gabriel Parrondo GNU/Linux User #404138 GnuPG Public Key ID: BED7BF43 JID: gabrielp@xmpp.us "The only difference between theory and practice is that, in theory, there's no difference between theory and practice."
