Should I file a bug? >From your build log: rmdir /home/raju/downloaded packages source/gdb-6.6.dfsg/objdir rmdir: /home/raju/downloaded: No such file or directory rmdir: packages: No such file or directory rmdir: source/gdb-6.6.dfsg/objdir: No such file or directory Your problem is a combination of unquoted strings and spaces in file/directory names; specifically, "downloaded packages source". Renaming that directory so that its name contains no spaces (actually, no characters which have special meaning to the shell) will be enough to work around the problem. -- | Darren Salt | linux or ds at | nr.
