Should I? :-P I'm not so sure I could help solving bugs... but I've never tried ;-) >> Obviously, I decided to use quilt to patch the original source code and >> modified the files in "debian" dir for that. >> Build Dependencies have been tested in cowbuilder/pbuilder environment >> and they're ok (or think so). > > As you use the "3.0 (quilt)" format, you don't need to include quilt > in your build-deps.

Before writing my "call for help", I tried to omit the quilt dependency and the "--with quilt" option for debhelper but debuild didn't work in the pbuilder environment, asking for it. And it seems the way to have the source back unpatched, once I want to clean it (insted of doing it manually via "quilt (or dquilt) pop -a". Tried now... it works even without ;-) That's weird! :-( >> Now, I'm having an issue with the final process, while dh_shlibdeps runs >> (you can see it from the .build file attached).

But I (we) have to work a lot on this messy package ;-) Hope to hear from you soon. mfv -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAk22vIUACgkQ1t4DH5kfnS2mYgCcDUQA1ib/p+aH/F0nFmX2Oopf M94AoKGWUJuRVj3xC+bAKqinfyec+0NV =V30h -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Il messaggio e' stato analizzato alla ricerca di virus o contenuti pericolosi da MailScanner, ed e' risultato non infetto. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
