I'm having some hard times correcting these two errors E: pygtkplot: changelog-file-not-compressed changelog E: pygtkplot: manpage-not-compressed usr/share/man/man1/pygtkplot.1
Must I compress the file by hand? If i compress the changelog then debuild says that it cannot find changelog. If I keep a copy of changelog along with changelog.gz and use "dh_installchangelogs debian/changelog.gz" I get E: pygtkplot: changelog-file-not-compressed changelog E: pygtkplot: changelog-file-not-compressed changelog.Debian So how am I supposedd to gzip -9 these files? Thanks.
