"apt-get source netkit-telnet" got netkit-telnet_0.17-22. I execute "debuild". Then I run dpkg-shlibdeps in dpkg-dev 1.10.21: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/debian/sample/netkit-telnet/netkit-telnet-0.17> dpkg-shlibdeps debian/tmp/usr/bin/telnet.netkit [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/debian/sample/netkit-telnet/netkit-telnet-0.17> cat debian/substvars shlibs:Depends=libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libgcc1 (>= 1:3.3.3-1), libncurses5 (>= 5.4-1), libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.3-1) Regards, -- gotom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
