You don't need to do this. Start dselect and install the pine package and whatever it depends on. It is in source form, not in binary form as other packages you see in dselect.
Then look in /usr/src/pine* Then you have change in the pine directory and enter: debian/rules binary This will create the binary pine package in /usr/src --Julian Stoev On Tue, 10 Aug 1999, Lazar Fleysher wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > I am experiencing a problem compiling pine/pico and I do not know how to > handle it. > > I have installed pine396-diffs_2.deb and pine396-src_2.deb from the stable > and this is what I get: > > # dpkg-source -x pine_3.96M-2.dsc > dpkg-source: extracting pine in pine-3.96M > dpkg-source: failure: exec patch: No such file or directory > dpkg-source: failure: patch gave error exit status 2 > > Could someone suggets what the problem is? > > Thank you, > > ZORO
