Package: dpkg Version: 1.3.8 In unpacking the sgmlspm dsc file on a fairly fresh system, I found:
# dpkg-source -x sgmlspm_1.03ii-2.dsc dpkg-source: extracting sgmlspm in sgmlspm-1.03ii dpkg-source: failure: exec patch: No such file or directory dpkg-source: failure: patch gave error exit status 2 Once patch was installed, dpkg-source completed successfully. Since patch isn't in base, I assume this means that the dpkg Depends field has to be amended to add 'patch'. Susan Kleinmann
