Mr. Cyrus Jones, thank you. i've been trying to figure this stuff out for a couple days after having to reinstall ubuntu because something's been messed up with my mouse (cursor would momemtarily freeze when i hit a key on the keyboard) anyway i had the same problem as the above posts for the people above me, it's a good idea to read the comments spit out by the commands you type into the terminal in this case, the very last line solves the puzzle "dpkg-buildpackage: (Use -d flag to override.)" so, Cyrus' last command will now be modified to become "dpkg-buildpackage -b -rfakeroot -d" i was also having problems with the -rfakeroot, so i simply took that out and used sudo so my final command was "sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b -d"
i hit one more bump, something wasn't installed (sorry, i closed that terminal window so i can't copy and paste the problem) the solution to this one final problem was to download cdbs, found here http://packages.debian.org/sarge/cdbs download that, run the command "sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b -d" and you should hopefully finally have flash installed -- flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
