You should look at what gets called from the debian/rules file. If it directly copies files into the debian/tmp/... tree, it should copy into debian/tmp/usr/bin; if it invokes the top-level Makefile of the program, check that it does it with correct arguments. It's entirely possible that you're calling 'make install prefix=`pwd`/debian/tmp', when you really want debian/tmp/usr. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
