Hi Hilmar, > The tar ball I provided contains a patch, which changes this to "/usr".
I have added your changes to my repo as vguitar_2.6-3 can be accessed as apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys AB406C34 deb-src http://apt.nick-strauss.com/apt/debian jessie main apt-get update apt-get source vguitar which downloads: vguitar_2.6-3.dsc vguitar_2.6-3.debian.tar.xz now to apply the patch and build? what next?

No need to change the upstream code. If you unpack the source package using "dpkg-source -x ..*dsc" the patch should be applied. As I provided only the debian.tar.xz file, you need to: hille@sid:~ $ tar xf vguitar_2.6.orig.tar.gz hille@sid:~ $ cd vguitar_2.6.orig/ hille@sid:~/vguitar_2.6.orig $ tar xf ../vguitar_2.6-1.debian.tar.xz hille@sid:~/vguitar_2.6.orig $ cd - hille@sid:~ $ dpkg-source -b vguitar_2.6.orig dpkg-source: info: using source format '3.0 (quilt)' dpkg-source: info: using patch list from debian/patches/series dpkg-source: info: applying user_local dpkg-source: info: building vguitar using existing ./vguitar_2.6.orig.tar.gz dpkg-source: info: using patch list from debian/patches/series dpkg-source: info: building vguitar in vguitar_2.6-1.debian.tar.xz dpkg-source: info: building vguitar in vguitar_2.6-1.dsc H. -- sigfault #206401 http://counter.li.org
