You'll have to synthesize one by either creating debian/control, debian/changelog, and debian/files (or substitutes which you name using -c, -l, and -f respectively) from the information you have and running dpkg-genchanges, or writing the file yourself based on how .changes files normally look. You can pull the changelog out of the .deb using 'apt-listchanges --all foo.deb', and similarly the control file using 'ar p foo.deb control.tar.gz | tar xzOf - ./control'. That should be most of the work. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
