using ~ decreases the version.Try this: dpkg-source -x dscfile pushd $src-$ver dch -l mybpo dpkg-buildpackage -S (It's rare, but sometimes you may need a builddep installed for this, such as po4a). popd dupload $src-$newver_source.changes cowbuilder $src-$newver.dsc (use -B for DEBBUILDOPTS in pbuilderrc) > Thanks for all the help, and I hope people find this useful. > > Kumar -- Thanks: Joseph Rawson
