Hi All, I've downloaded the new GnuPG source from http://www.gnupg.org (gnupg-1.0.1.tar.gz), unpacked it, and tried to build on my slink system. After the first try to run 'su -c "dpkg-buildpackage"', I received the message: usr/bin/dpkg-buildpackage: debian/rules: permission denied I've stated, that the debian/rules file has no execute permission, so I've done: wzab:~/gnupg/tmp/gnupg-1.0.1$ chmod o+x debian/rules and ran the 'su -c "dpkg-buildpackage"' once again. Now I first received the warning: dpkg-source: warning: source directory ./gnupg-1.0.1' is not <sourcepackage>-<upstreamversion> Gnupg-0.9.10' And finally the build failed with the error:
install -m 755 debian/preinst debian/postinst debian/postrm debian/tmp/DEBIAN/ install: debian/postinst: No such file or directory install: debian/postrm: No such file or directory make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1 I've stated that the debian/rules contains the section: binary-arch: checkroot build # test $(checkdir) -rm -rf debian/tmp install -d debian/tmp/DEBIAN/ install -m 755 debian/preinst debian/postinst debian/postrm debian/tmp/DEBIAN/ but the files debian/postinst and debian/postrm do not exist. After changing this section to: binary-arch: checkroot build # test $(checkdir) -rm -rf debian/tmp install -d debian/tmp/DEBIAN/ install -m 755 debian/preinst debian/tmp/DEBIAN/ Now everything worked fine, and I've got the working gnupg_0.9.10-2_i386.deb package. BTW I don't know what defines the version of the package. The debian/control does not contain the "Version:" line, there is only "Standards-Version" line... -- Wojciech Zabolotny http://www.ise.pw.edu.pl/~wzab http://www.debian.org Big Brother is watching...
