Peter, Please calm down.
1) I made a small change to the what Abou proposed, because his script did not work on my system (amd64) so most "issues" you mention are actually proposed by Abou. I think, but he can speak for himself, that he wanted more or less the same as in Lazarus. Actually, I really was doubting if I would upload Abou's proposal and already made a very low impact change instead (see below) but: 2) The release team already approved Abou's changes, so in the end I decided to upload Abous's proposal, so that I was less "in the way" of the real maintainers of fpc. It seems I made a mistake, I will fix it. Do you think belows fix (minus the version) is better, or do we (I think Abou will like that better) to fix the new fixdeb with the same substr as in the rules file? Or even pass the proper string to the script in the rules file (it is already calculated there). My proposal is to use my fix, as the rest of the script is proven to work until now, and Abou can fix his fixdeb script for jessie. Paul
