I'm having a strange problem with dh_shlibdeps which stops my package building. This is the first package I've ever tried making, so I'm roughly following the Debian New Maintaners' Guide.
Basically, when dh_shlibdeps runs from within dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot it doesn't generate the file debian/substvars. If I run it at the command line from the same directory, it correctly generates the file. Indeed, if I individually run each step of my debian/rules file the complete package builds successfully. It's just when this is automated with dpkg-buildpackage that dh_shlibdeps stop working. I'm using the latest dpkg-dev 1.8.3.1 from unstable. I'm guessing the problem is to do with differing environment variables, but I'm not sure which could be the culprit. I can post any files to the list, or email anyone the complete archive for them to try themselves, if willing. (Extra info: I'm packaging pygame (see http://pygame.seul.org/) which depends on Python 2.0, so I'm using unofficial Python 2.0 debs. Pygame is also very unstable. I'm packaging it to get a feel for how to make packages, and to offer to the upstream maintainer for Debian users to download from his web site.) Thanks for any help!
