I don't know how apt-build works nor does, but let me make some
observations about the log...

If I read D-M instructions coreectly, "contrib" does not seem to be a
valid option (just "main" and "non-free") so I would check this.

For this one I dunno what could be the offending part. Anyway, I would
recheck your "/etc/apt/sources.list" just in case.

Camaleon,

Thanks for your reply, your clues have put me on the right track, I've quashed the errors I reported and am now just trying to figure out how to use a-b. :)
