I can confirm this. As a work around, you can dig out the file from the bug report at http://bugs.debian.org/307779 or copy it from an older installation. It seems like debhelpers default temporary directory has changed from debian/tmp to debian/<package>, and the line installing the desktop file in the build script has not been updated. Ideally, ratpoison should be reautoconfigured, so the use of $DESTDIR could be possible. To solve this specific issue - renaming ratpoison.xsession to ratpoison.desktop and using dh_install instead of install would be the best solution I think. The following command seems to work as it should. dh_install debian/ratpoison.desktop usr/share/xsessions/ There also is a dh_installwm helper, but I'm not sure what it does? -- /Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
