I'm packaging up Device::SerialPort from CPAN (for my own use), and have been banging my head against this wall:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Device-SerialPort/Device-SerialPort-0.10$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot ... dpkg-genchanges dpkg-genchanges: failure: cannot read files list file: No such file or directory I've created a files list, tarred it up with the source, but it seems to disappear each time. Manually specifying an alternate file results in: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Device-SerialPort/Device-SerialPort-0.10$ dpkg-genchanges -fdebian/Device-SerialPort.files dpkg-genchanges: error: badly formed line in files list file, line 1 whose contents is: etc etc/Device usr usr/lib usr/lib/perl5 usr/lib/perl5/5.005 usr/lib/perl5/5.005/util-linux usr/local usr/local/lib usr/local/lib/site_perl usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux What am I doing wrong? Is there a utility to generate a fileslistfile or am I just going about this the wrong way? -- Niall Young [EMAIL PROTECTED]
