This will create the debian/ directory. If you've got this from a stable archive I'm suprised it's not in the unstable one - unless it was removed. (Perhaps if you got it from stable you could 'apt-get source program' which would download and unpack everything for you instead?) Steve -- www.steve.org.uk
