I found some issues and I was able to fix them. I was getting this error: dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: libcurl-gnutls-dev (>= 7.15.1) There is no libcurl-gnutls-dev package in Debian, AFAICS you have to depend on libcurl4-gnutls-dev, or libcurl-ssl-dev, or maybe even just on libcurl-dev. What do you think? What is your preferred choice? Another issue, when creating packages I get: dh_install: libgimp2.0-dev missing files (usr/lib/*.a), aborting Adding --enable-static to DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS in debian/rules fixes that too, or alternatively you can remove the first line in debian/libgimp2.0-dev.install I also get: dh_makeshlibs -plibgimp2.0 -V -- c4 dpkg-gensymbols: unknown option `c4' Turning the "-V -- c4" to "-- -V -c4" just like 34a9d4f meant to be fixed that. Last one, debian/libgimp2.0.symbols needs to be updated. After these changes the package builds fine here with git-builpackage, there are still a couple of lintian warnings but I can now enjoy gimp-2.8, thanks. Let me know if you want me to send the changes above as patches. Regards, Antonio -- Antonio Ospite http://ao2.it A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
