you might want to start with apt-get update.... Then try: mkdir /tmp/foobar && cd /tmp/foobar apt-get source libarchive cd libarchive-2* DEB_BUILDGOPTIONS="noopt nostrip debug" dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us this should spit out .deb packages in /tmp/foobar containing non-optimized debuggage binaries. You install them with "dpkg -i /tmp/foobar/*.deb" if you want to inject printfs, just edit the source and rerun from the dpkg-buildpackage step..... > > > Have a nice day :) > > Thomas > > >
