This is caused by the weird trailing "+b1) of the version string. When compiling without a git source tree the version string is extracted from debian/changelog with sed -ne '1s/.*(\(.*\)-.*/\1/1; tx; d; :x; p' debian/changelog Can you please check the output of this command on your system? On mine it prints "1.0.5". Best Andre -- Max Planck Institute for Biology Tel: (+49) 7071 601 829 Max-Planck-Ring 5, 72076 Tübingen, Germany http://people.tuebingen.mpg.de/maan/
