The file debian-changelog-mode.el is located in a different directory than the installscript expects. Do a 'locate filename' an move or copy the file to the directory the installscripts looks in. On my machine it's: /usr/share/dpkg/site-lisp/dpkg/debian-changelog-mode.el /usr/share/emacs/20.3/site-lisp/dpkg-dev/debian-changelog-mode.elc Good luck. -- Sven Esbjerg http://www.dina.dk/~joker
