I did use dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot Here's more of the log: if test -d build -a build != source; then rm -f -r build; fi dpkg-source -b icu dpkg-source: warning: source directory `./icu' is not <sourcepackage>-<upstreamversion> `icu-2.0' dpkg-source: building icu in icu_2.0-1.tar.gz dpkg-source: building icu in icu_2.0-1.dsc debian/rules build but the icu_2.0-1.dsc is not created at all. If I go to a properly named directory (my mistake; I have a properly named icu-2.0 and a symlink icu -> 2.0/icu-2.0 to get there, and usually work from the symlink; somehow the scripts see the name icu, not icu-2.0 after I cd'ed there w/ zsh) then it works: if test -d build -a build != source; then rm -f -r build; fi dpkg-source -b icu-2.0 dpkg-source: building icu in icu_2.0-1.tar.gz So why is dpkg-source just issuing a warning instead of failing if it really cannot do anything? Is it looking at $CWD instead of finding out the real location (zsh messes up w/ $CWD). YA
