problems building branden's debs on potato
Dear People,
After many many retries, it seems I'm almost at the point of successfully
building Branden's phase2v17 debs on potato (don't ask :). I had the most
trouble with the mix of glide3 and glide2 that x requires, but that was
solved. What I'm getting now is the following:
lots of packages being successfully built and then:
dpkg-deb: building package `xserver-common' in
`../xserver-common_4.0.1-0phase2v
17_i386.deb'.
dpkg-deb: building package `xserver-xfree86' in
`../xserver-xfree86_4.0.1-0phase
2v17_i386.deb'.
dpkg-deb: building package `xterm' in
`../xterm_4.0.1-0phase2v17_i386.deb'.
dpkg-deb: conffile `/etc/X11/rstart/commands/@List' does not appear in
package
dpkg-deb: building package `xutils' in
`../xutils_4.0.1-0phase2v17_i386.deb'.
dh_builddeb: command returned error code
make: *** [debian/stampdir/binary-arch] Error 1
Build command 'cd xfree86-4.0.1 && dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc' failed.
Checking debian/xutils/DEBIAN/control and conffiles shows that variables
like "/etc/X11/rstart/commands/@List" (in conffiles) are not being
expanded, and some variables evaluate to null strings, as in the
following: "Depends: xfree86-common (>= 4.0.1)," (in control).
Does anyone have any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for any help!
Charl
