Any idea what might be wrong?
You don't have to enter to foo-version directory.
Anyway it should work even with that... both ways works for me.
I tried that, too, but it still just says E: Not installed.
What's E and what's not installed? (This must be one of the least
helpful error messages I've ever seen.)
E means error.
Ah, ok.. (If the author tried to be confusing he could have made it say
Blue: No roof or something. Although on a second thought that probably
would have been too obvious and made ppl check out the source, and this way
he got it actually more confusing by being less confusing. Clever.)
Are you sure all build dependencies are installed ?
No. apt-src install foo installed a lot of stuff, so I guessed it was OK
and didn't know how to fix it even if it wasn't OK.
apt-get build-dep foo
That didn't seem to do anything but apparently it did the trick because now
it works. Thanks!!!
(It would be nice if the man page of apt-src would state that build
requires doing an apt-get build-dep.)
