Aha! That's exactly the help I needed. The rules file had DH_COMPAT set to 2, but I was installing the files into debian/tmp rather than debian/pygame. Some rogue code copied from DH_COMPAT=1 days. So at the command line with DH_COMPAT defaulting to 1, dh_shlibdeps looked in debian/tmp and found the files. In the rules makefile with DH_COMPAT=2 it looked in debian/pygame, found nothing, so made no dependencies substvar. Thanks! Francis -- Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: www.flourish.org
