If I understand your intent, you want the package to "make install" to ./debian/tmp/, and then you want *.dirs and *.files to copy them from that location to ./debian/package/, where they will be installed into the package. Right?
Firstly, you should know that ./debian/tmp/ was the install directory for old versions of debhelper. Nowadays its ./debian/$package/. It shoulds like this is working the way it should be, but you should check that ./debian/dh_compat exists and contains a "4". Then you should make sure that ./debian/rules has dh_install uncommented; thats the program that accepts as input. Finally, the name of the input files are "*.install" and not "*.files" (which seems to be for old program dh_movefiles). -- Clear skies, Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
