I know about script, but that is really a clunky way to do it. And then you need to clean up all those control characters before you can really read it. I tried `apt-get command |tee file' but it cuts of as soon as things go online. Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... dpkg-buildpackage: source package is vim dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 6.0.226-1 dpkg-buildpackage: source maintainer is Wichert Akkerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture is i386 Need to get 4300kB of source archives. [nothing beyond here] But you'll see in another post, I wasn't aware the source packages had been dumped at my feet.

The command you likely want is > 'dpkg-buildpackage > -rfakeroot -us -uc'. Make sure you have the package 'fakeroot' installed. Ahhh here is the rub. dpkg -l doesn't know about fakeroot. I think this may be the result of not making any choices in tasksel's devel section during install. But trying an apt-get -b source vim after installing fakeroot still fails. I'm backing up and rerunning tasksel .. checking all the devel options...
