If I use it as root no problem. But I do not understand why I have to be root to build a package, it worked fine (and it works fine on sarge) as a normal user until some days ago. > Can you confirm that dpkg-parsechangelog fails with the changelog of the > cappucino (0.4-2.1) package in Debian? Yes, it happens also with cappuccino, if I call it as normal user. But when I redo the check in a different machine (I already had the source on the previuos one) I found that also apt-source cappuccino does'nt work also as normal user, giving: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-get source cappuccino Reading package lists...
