Lesson learned! Thx! I hope you are happy with this: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/j/jabber-querybot/jabber-querybot_0.0.5.1-1.dsc - d/changelog entry what was changed: Seems to be a handling challange on my side between which version is uploaded/queued/in progress. Fixed now. - d/preinst: Implemented according to your remarks. -- Marco
