> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> git --version > git version debian.1.5.5_rc2.1 Hi Sven, this might happen if you build the Debian package directly out of the git repo (.git/ exists). The git repo doesn't track the ./version file, causing the build process to use 'git describe' when creating ./GIT-VERSION-FILE through ./GIT-VERSION-GEN. You can work around this by creating the ./version file (which is also in the .orig.tar.gz's) before building a Debian package, e.g. $ echo v1.5.5-rc2 >version Regards, Gerrit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
