Is the $SRCDIR variable set to anything? What is the output of echo $SRCDIR > Im using dpkg-source from dpkg-dev 1.18.4ubuntu1.1 in Ubuntu 16.04. As explained in the FAQ (https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-choosing.en.html#s3.2), Ubuntu is based on Debian but not Debian. If you are running Ubutnu, it is better to ask on Ubuntu list than here. thanks raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi | http://raju.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Blog
