The > binary package built this way is however empty. So how do you do the last step? And why is building from your source package any different than your first step with -us -uc? What do you do EXACTLY when you "build from the source package", i.e. please provide all the copy and build commands. It is NOT empty if I try it (the step to create the source package first is not really relevant is it?) paul@wollumbin $ ls -l total 340 drwxr-xr-x 5 paul paul 4096 jul 17 21:12 pam_ssh_agent_auth-0.9.5 -rw-r--r-- 1 paul paul 277802 jul 19 08:17 pam-ssh-agent-auth_0.9.5-1.tar.gz paul@wollumbin $ cd pam_ssh_agent_auth-0.9.5 paul@wollumbin pam_ssh_agent_auth-0.9.5 $ pdebuild <lot of output> paul@wollumbin $ ls -l total 340 drwxr-xr-x 5 paul paul 4096 jul 17 21:12 pam_ssh_agent_auth-0.9.5 -rw-r--r-- 1 paul paul 53532 jul 19 08:20 pam-ssh-agent-auth_0.9.5-1_amd64.build -rw-r--r-- 1 paul paul 652 jul 19 08:17 pam-ssh-agent-auth_0.9.5-1.dsc -rw-r--r-- 1 paul paul 1035 jul 19 08:17 pam-ssh-agent-auth_0.9.5-1_source.changes -rw-r--r-- 1 paul paul 277802 jul 19 08:17 pam-ssh-agent-auth_0.9.5-1.tar.gz and paul@wollumbin $ ls -l /var/cache/pbuilder/wheezy-amd64/result/pam-ssh-agent-auth_0.9.5* -rw-r--r-- 1 paul paul 1324 jul 19 08:19 /var/cache/pbuilder/wheezy-amd64/result/pam-ssh-agent-auth_0.9.5-1_amd64.changes -rw-r--r-- 1 paul paul 41696 jul 19 08:19 /var/cache/pbuilder/wheezy-amd64/result/pam-ssh-agent-auth_0.9.5-1_amd64.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 paul paul 652 jul 19 08:18 /var/cache/pbuilder/wheezy-amd64/result/pam-ssh-agent-auth_0.9.5-1.dsc -rw-r--r-- 1 paul paul 280317 jul 19 08:18 /var/cache/pbuilder/wheezy-amd64/result/pam-ssh-agent-auth_0.9.5-1.tar.gz (Interestingly, the tar is also different, but that is also to be expected I guess from the known problems with the packaging). >> And don't forget that you already identified several problems with the >> upstream source.

The point also reported by Andrey in this thread, is you are NOT asking the right questions and you are not giving enough information. If I try to build your package, it just works, as said before. There are problems, yes, but we have told you how to fix those. So if you want help, please fix the issues, and try to ask specific questions on what you want/need to know and give extensive information. As you say, you probably do "something wrong" but we can guess it until you tell us what you do. Paul
