This script unpacks the qmail source in /usr/src/qmail-src into a directory, and compiles it to produce a binary qmail*.deb file The directory where this is done will end up containing the source and package files for the qmail binary package, along with a directory containing the unpacked source. Where would you like to do this [./qmail] mkdir: cannot make directory `./qmail': File exists build-qmail: cd: ./qmail: Not a directory dpkg-source: failure: cannot read /usr/src/qmail-src/qmail_1.01-2.diff.gz: No such file or directory build-qmail: cd: qmail-src.README: Not a directory For some reason fakeroot causes install to hang on my system, so I'm giving you the option of running sudo or fakeroot. Give fakeroot a try but if it does not work use sudo instead. Should I use sudo or fakeroot to build the package ?
