I can't reproduce the problem, but I'm not sure I'm doing exactly the same thing as you. Can you please give me step-by-step instructions for how to download exactly the Debian package files and what to do with them to try to generate the package? Jordi gave me that info a few days ago and with what he showed me, I was able to generate the error you mention above. But now I can't find his instructions. jwe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
