I'm having trouble reproducing this. If you look in the log at the part just prior to the errors you provided, you'll see that it executes: /usr/bin/pdf2ps releasenotes.pdf releasenotes.ps which is supposed to convert the PDF file releasenotes.pdf into the Postscript file releasenotes.ps. However, in the log you provided, rather than putting the Postscript in a file, it is getting dumped to stdout or stderr, i.e., it appears in the log. So, the later step where it tries to install releasenotes.ps fails because that files was not created. When I build this package on an up to date sid system, that does not occur, it creates releasenotes.ps just fine. I tried building it three ways: "debian/rules install", dpkg-buildpackage and pdebuild, and all built fine. How exactly was this built, i.e., what utility/commands did Lucas use? -- Neil Roeth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
