The build unfortunately failed at the very end with: dpkg-genchanges dpkg-genchanges: failure: cannot open upload file ../libroot-ruby5.09_5.09.1-2_amd64.deb for reading: No such file or directory Indeed, no such file was created in the build directory. The thing I find odd is that there is nevertheless a libroot-ruby5.09 entry in debian/control ; I don't understand why the .deb wasn't built. (Note: the exact command I used to build was "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us" in order to test that it would also generate the .diff.gz, .dsc and .changes files OK.) There were also a number of suspicious-looking messages during the build such as this one, repeated several times: *** Warning *** Unknown package root-common - please update ./build/package/lib/makebuilddepend.sh Despite the error at the end, the build did succeed in producing a lot of .debs. I installed the generated .debs on the amd64 machine and used ROOT a bit and it seemed to work fine. Hope this helps. -- Kevin B.
