The thing that matters is what's in the .dsc file (which necessarily contains the .orig checksums). > I saw another user's post who accidentally downloaded an incorrect > version of the orig file, and I've made sure that the file I'm using is > the same as the one that I edited. > > Maybe this is related: debuild -S will not function if I use the > .orig.tar.xz downloaded from the original Ubuntu Launchpad.

If you can't fix this, it sounds like you need to add the -sa option to debuild until you get your version of the .orig into your PPA for the first time. It's probably not being included by default due to version-based heuristics, but you need to upload it if it's different. However, in exactly what way does "debuild -S" fail? It's usually better to figure out why things aren't working with the Ubuntu .orig and fix that. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@canonical.com] _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-users Post to : launchpad-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
