Hi!
I trying to learn to build packages from their source packages and
I've run into trouble.
I've just downloaded an source package from my mirror and now I'm
triying to make a compiled package. The package is ppp from the unstable
tree.
After downloaded I've executed:
$ dpkg-source -x ppp_2.3.9-1.dsc
$ dpkg --build ppp-2.3.9
And I get:
dpkg-deb: failed to open package info file
`ppp-2.3.9/DEBIAN/control' for reading: No such file or directory
I've renamed ppp-2.3.9/bebian to ppp-2.3.9/DEBIAN but now I get:
dpkg-deb: parse error, in file `ppp-2.3.9/DEBIAN/control' near line 6:
missing package name
I'm sure I could dig more info and start looking more deeply into
the references, but I must be missing something here if this doesn't work
now. Can somebody help me?
TIA!
