The git repositories do not contain the upstream sources. They only include the debian/ folder. That is why you need to get the upstream tarball and extract it into the git directory. Run "uscan --force-download calligra" in /home/martin/KDE/Calligra to get the latest upstream source. uscan also takes care of the right symlink "calligra_2.4.1.orig.tar.bz2 -> calligra-2.4.1.tar.bz2" cd into your calligra directory and run tar ../calligra_2.4.1.orig.tar.bz2 --strip=1 Now retry your dpkg-buildpackage command. You might want to add "-us -uc -jX" Where X matches the number of your CPU Cores, to speed things up. Note that calligra has a lot of build dependecies, that you probably do not have all installed (dpkg-buildpackage will let you know). It is usefull to learn building in a chroot (have a look at pbuilder for example) for such a huge package. Good luck ;) -- eshat cakar web: www.eshat.de gpg-id: 799B 95D5
