hello all,

when running dh_installman in

        /home/p/debian/pdamaze/pdamaze-0.0.20011005/debian

which is where the man page is, i get the error:

        p@satan% dh_installman ./pdamaze.6
        dh_installman: cannot read debian/control: No such file or directory

the control file _is_ there, right in between copyright and conffiles.ex.
the error itself makes it sound like you need to be in the upstream source
directory, so i changed directories to:

        /home/p/debian/pdamaze/pdamaze-0.0.20011005

and now the error is:

        p@satan% dh_installman pdamaze.6
        pdamaze.6: No such file or directory at /usr/bin/dh_installman line 98.

i looked at the source for dh_maninstall.  you definitely want to be in the
debian/ subdirectory.

it looks like control is opened by some function in package Find or Dh_Lib.
rather than hunt it down, i'd like to ask: what am i doing wrong?  the
operation looks simple enough that there must be something i'm doing which is
obviously screwing up the process.

why isn't it finding the control file?

pete
