Funny. ‘debuild -b’ should avoid this problem if you run into it with other packages. (“debuild binary” runs “fakeroot debian/rules binary”, while “debuild -b” runs “debian/rules build && fakeroot debian/rules binary”.) Anyway, thanks for testing from source; this is very useful work however you do it. :) >> Could you apply the patches from that thread[1] or pull/clone from >> >> git://repo.or.cz/debian-git/jrn.git for-faheem >> >> and let me know how it goes? > > Can do, sure. Does that mean you'll consider applying the patch? Yes, of course. But I am not the only one with a say; I’ll just ask Gerrit nicely to apply it if it works for you.
