Did you apply xyz_1.2.diff.gz? You have to apply debian patch, so debian subdirecory is created for building with dpkg-buildpackage. You should have extracted package with 'dpkg-source -x xyz_1.2.dsc' and patch would have been applied automaticaly. Then you apply your modifications and document that in the changelog. And then build the package. > Do i make wrong something ? or I have to type other command before > dpkg-buildpackege,while create deb file without apt-get source command ? > > After type apt-get source xyz for xyz_1.0,I saw this information, > > dpkg-source: extracting xyz in xyz-1.0 *1 > dpkg-source: unpacking xyz_1.0.orig.tar.gz *2 > dpkg-source: applying ./xyz_1.0.diff.gz *3 > > I understand *1 and *2 but I can not understand *3 ?

Why would you apply any patch _after_ you create packages? And patch for 1.0 would not affect 1.2 version (it is intended for 1.0).
