Public bug reported: Binary package hint: apt-build
While packaging my own packages, I have found that apt-build is unable to even acknowledge their existance: On a clean Ubuntu 6.10 install after running a upgrade, installing apt- build, mc and adding 'deb-src http://packages.quickfox.org/ deb-source/' to the sources.list: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test# apt-build source glfrontier W: Unable to locate package glfrontier W: Unable to locate package glfrontier E: No packages found Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/bin/apt-build line 402.

I did run apt-get update and apt-build update before.
