I can confirm this. Your clean target is wrong. With this commented out I have additional comments (note, that I am not a DD so this is just for your help: * You obviously miss all build-depends. Thats the reason why the configure target fails with missing dependencies. You should try to build your package in a e.g. pbuilder environment, so that you see what dependencies your package has. * debian/rules: - No need to keep template comments - What does this ifneq construct do in the config.status target? The build process should not make any assumptions on what might exist on the build system and should not use anything outside of the package (IMHO) - No need to keep commented debhelpers - dh_installman seems to be useless as you don't ship a manpage - there are plenty whitespaces at the end of lines, you should remove them * debian/copyright: - I don't think that "JackTheDipper" is a valid legal person, therefore i consider debian/copyright to be invalid. It may be better to contain real names. - a lot of empty spaces at the end of line * debian/dirs (and dh_installdirs in rules) seems useless. Directories will normally be created by the makefiles so this is double effort. But I can't tell for sure as it does not build. * debian/changelog: - Again: I don't think that "JackTheDipper" is a valid legal person. * debian/control: - Description is invalid. See 3.4 in the debian policy for informations about this. Regards, Patrick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
