thx, the problem was in the rules file, i had to edit it. thx Gordon Sadler for the help. now the debs work,ok but with lintian -i programm.changes i get this error .... E: ktouch: binary-without-manpage ktouch .... ok, so i made a manpage, like in the new maintainer guide, but dpkg-buildpackage doesn't find the man page, do I have to tell some config file that there is this man page, or do i only have to make this manpage programm.1 ?? leave it in the debian dir? thx chris ps.: there is another error E: ktouch: symlink-should-be-relative usr/share/doc/HTML/en/ktouch/common /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/common but this one is from the program i think, so i need to edit some stuff in the programms source, or? pps: and some other stuff. it is a normal kde program made with kdevelop. when i install it normal with the tar.gz file ( ./configure && make && make install ) I have to do an export KDEDIRS=/usr/local/kde else the program wont work. when I install the program with the deb file everything works, no need for an export. on every other distribution it works without a problem. ppps: I'am using sid can I make on this machine debs for potato (I think this is not possible)
