You shouldn't use 1.9.8-4-0.1, it's a NMU version. >Please download, comment, etc etc. :) I run pbuilder on the debian source package. Pbuilder log file available at [5]. Please fix all lintian errors/warnings: lintian -i /var/cache/pbuilder/result/ucon64_1.9.8-4-0.1_i386.changes W: ucon64 source: maintainer-upload-has-incorrect-version-number 1.9.8-4-0.1 N: N: A maintainer upload should have a Debian revision without dots. N: Revisions with dots are reserved for Non-Maintainer Uploads (NMU's), N: if you do a maintainer-upload with dots, a potential NMU'er has N: problems choosing a correct version number. N: E: ucon64: sharedobject-in-library-directory-not-actually-a-shlib usr/lib/libdiscmage.so N: N: A shared object was identified in a library directory (i.e. a N: directory in the standard linker path) which doesn't have a SONAME. N: This is usually an error. N: N: SONAMEs are set with something like gcc -Wl,-soname,libfoo.so.0, where N: 0 is the major version of the library. If your package uses libtool, N: then libtool invoked with the right options should be doing this. N: W: ucon64: wrong-name-for-upstream-changelog usr/share/doc/ucon64/changes.html N: N: If there is an upstream changelog file, it should usually be installed N: as /usr/share/doc/<pkg>/changelog.gz N: N: Refer to Policy Manual, section 12.7 for details.
