Right. Lintian is pointing out that, since you're using a patch system, you should use that patch system for *all* changes you want to make. Examine the ‘foo.diff.gz’ you're trying to upload to see what changes you've made outside the ‘debian/’ directory. Make those changes via ‘dpatch’, instead. > This is the package: > http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=pam-dotfile Notice that the most recent version of the ‘foo.diff.gz’ there, <URL:http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/pam-dotfile/pam-dotfile_0.7-5.diff.gz>, makes no changes outside the ‘debian/’ directory. > What do I need to move to dpatch? Am I missing something? Either don't use dpatch at all, or use dpatch for *every* change you want to make to the upstream files. -- \ “I was in the first submarine.
