Hi! I've just upgraded one of my package's control files from 3.0.1 to 3.1.1 and now I can't get the damn thing to build correctly.
The one problem I'm having is with the configuration file. I have the
following in conffiles:
------------< snip <------< snip <------< snip <------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/work/ixbiff-0.02b/debian$ cat conffiles
/etc/ixbiff.conf
------------< snip <------< snip <------< snip <------------
However, if I run debstd, I get the following:
------------< snip <------< snip <------< snip <------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/work/ixbiff-0.02b$ debstd

--------------- debstd processing finished --------------
As you can see, it won't add ixbiff.conf as a configuration file. I can't
figure out why it can either (the error messages really suck - can't you
make it more verbose?)
Also, why is chown failing? What's it trying to chown the files to?
Any help would really be appreciated
PS:
The structure of my source tree is as follows:
------------< snip <------< snip <------< snip <------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/work/ixbiff-0.02b$ find -type d
.
./debian
./debian/old
./man
./src
./doc
./contrib
./templates
------------< snip <------< snip <------< snip <------------
and the configuration file is in the src directory. So maybe it can't find
it? Doesn't make any sense though, since with the 3.0.1 control files, it
was found.
