Hi Cyril, Thanks for the speedy reply, Appreciate that. That did indeed seem to be the trick. I wondered why the build process was suggesting ';' were missing, but I shrugged it off as being too simple a fix, heh. "My bad" on that. That does indeed get me further, although I've run into a new er

Bingo. That did the trick. Compile is successful on OS X with 1.17.21 again now. Big thanks for the hasty replies and fixes, really appreciate those! I run a permanent Debian Virtualbox, so I guess the desire to compile dpkg on OS X for packaging is horribly lazy of me really heh. Bug reporting &
