No, just network-manager: sudo apt-get build-dep network-manager apt-get source network-manager cd network-manager-0.9.8.0 First of all I would suggest you to check that original package can be build without any errors. For dpkg-buildpackage I had to disable test (debian/rules file, --enable-tests=no instead of --with-tests in ./configure invocation) fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc Successful build will finish with .deb files created in the parent directory.. Edit .c files as described in Comment 114. It is better to edit debian/changelog file as well and add an additional entry to the top of the file with another version suffix. This step will allow to avoid confusion which package is installed. Again fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc (option -nc can be added to compile only updated files) You should have new .deb file that can be installed with sudo dpkg -i ../<exact name of network-manager_0.9.8*.deb> The details can be found in http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/build.en.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1073433 Title: Ext4 corruption associated with shutdown of Ubuntu 12.10 Status in Upstart: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 1. Format and label a target Ext4 partion using Ubuntu 12.04 2. Install 64bit 12.10 OS using that target without reformatting it 3. Shut down 4. Boot an alternate copy of Ubuntu 5. Restart selecting the newly installed OS 6. Login then shutdown 6. Boot an alternate copy of Ubuntu 7.Fsck the newly installed OS allowing corrections to be made Each time the the newly installed OS is executed and then shutdown, even if execution only consists of logging on, a subsequent fsck will FAIL. I used Acronis True Image Home 2013 to create an image of the newly installed 64-bit Ubuntu 12.10, so I can recreate the symptoms of Ext4 filesystem corruption 100% of the time by restoring from the image, booting, logging on and shutting down.
