You missed one file: the .dsc file. Brab that too. Put the tar.gz, the diff.gz, and the dsc in a dir together and run "dpkg-source -x file.dsc". Where file.dsc is the dsc file name. Then CD into the created dir and run "dpkg-buildpackage" as root, or use sudo. This will create your own debian package from the orig. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
