Hi Gianfranco,
I tried sudo dpkg-buildpackage -S sa but it gave thousands of lines of error msgs, seemingly for every file in my chroot like: dpkg-source: error: cannot represent change to netkit-rwall.dev/trusty/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: dpkg-source: error: new version is symlink to /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so dpkg-source: error: old version is nonexistent I decided to give up on using chroot under precise and started again using a new Ubuntu trusty VM without chroot. I was able to eventually build & upload the a source to Launchpad J The main problem I think was that I was using MS Word to track my progress, and when I copied the commands from the Ubuntu web page into Word, it was changing hyphens into long dashes. Then when I needed to redo a command, copying it from Word to Ubuntu used long dashes instead of hyphens. Unfortunately, when you run bzr builddeb S (long dash) you dont get an error about an invalid argument, it just doesnt do what you expect. I am well aware of the problem with long dashes but didnt notice this time because there was no error message and I didnt really know what it was supposed to do. I now know in MS word there are 2 places where you need to turn off AutoCorrect of hyphens: AutoFormat & AutoFormat As You Type. Id still like some help with using chroot if anyone can help with my previous questions? I don't understand how the chroot is supposed to work. I have seen https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot Looking at http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/chroots.html 10.1. Creating a Chroot: You can then work inside the chroot: $ sudo chroot trusty After this, of course I am root, and the source package I had set up previously, doesn't exist in the chroot. Should I hardlink the source directory structure into the chroot? Should I be working as myself (user cgood) instead of root? If so, do I 'su - cgood' before starting? Will the chroot still be in effect if I do?

Another way can be to grab again the source package, delete debian folder, replace with your debian one, and do again the command (or maybe chown youruser:youruser package -Rf bests, Gianfranco
