I would rather use apt-get source, and then dpkg-buildpackage inside the sudo-1.8.9p5 directory, but that's basically the same. So if it's a test issue, you can probably at least override the failure by setting export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck That being said, it would be better to just fix the failures. Try to run the test programs by hand, check their output, run in a debugger, check where it starts going wrong, etc. > I also noticed that the diff file for use-flock-on-hurd is for > sudo-1.8.3p1 would the version mismatch cause problems at all? That's not a problem: patches are applied with the -p1 option of the patch command. Samuel
