I was able to get the package rebuilt by following this guide: https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingAPackage Which, incidentally, does not use spaces in its base directory. Thanks, Joshua Schaeffer

Makefiles in general have no real way to handle filenames and directory names with spaces in them. The notion of a Makefile variable holding a space-delimited list of filenames is embedded in the design at the most fundamental levels. Passing these "lists" from Makefile to /bin/sh script fragments doesn't make things any simpler, either. > The net result is that it attempts to cp the absolute path > '/home/jschaeffer/Build' into the relative path > 'Test/nginx-1.6.2-5+deb8u2/auto', which does not exist.

I doubt it's possible to make build paths containing spaces work correctly in the general case, even if the original poster does manage to hack it up this one time. My advice would be to stop attempting to use a directory with a space in its name as part of a build setup. It's doomed.

Rebuilding Debian package from source
I'm trying to rebuild the nginx-extras package from Jessie and I'm running into an error when I run debuild. I want to add a module to Nginx. I've just been following this to rebuild the package: https://raphaelhertzog.com/2010/12/15/howto-to-rebuild-debian-packages/ Here is what I've done: 1. Downloaded the source using apt. * apt-get source nginx-extras 2. Built the dependencies for the package * apt-get build-dep nginx-extras 3. Updated the debian/rules file to include my module 4. Added my module to the debian/modules directory 5. Ran debuild to compile the package. * debuild -us -uc When I run the debuild command I get an error about no Test/nginx-1.6.2-5_deb8u2/auto directory existing. As the error suggests it doesn't exist, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Creating the directory just leads to another error. Would anybody be able to tell me why I'm getting this error and how to fix it. I do have devscripts installed on the machine. jschaeffer@mutalisk:~/Build Test/nginx-1.6.2-5+deb8u2$ debuild -us -uc ... make[1]: Entering directory '/home/jschaeffer/Build Test/nginx-1.6.2-5+deb8u2' dh_testdir mkdir -p /home/jschaeffer/Build Test/nginx-1.6.2-5+deb8u2/debian/build-full cp -Pa /home/jschaeffer/Build Test/nginx-1.6.2-5+deb8u2/auto /home/jschaeffer/Build Test/nginx-1.6.2-5+deb8u2/debian/build-full/ *cp: cannot stat ‘Test/nginx-1.6.2-5+deb8u2/auto’: No such file or directory* cp: will not create hard link ‘Test/nginx-1.6.2-5+deb8u2/debian/build-full/Build’ to directory ‘Test/nginx-1.6.2-5+deb8u2/debian/build-full/Build’ debian/rules:141: recipe for target 'config.arch.full' failed make[1]: *** [config.arch.full] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/jschaeffer/Build Test/nginx-1.6.2-5+deb8u2' debian/rules:117: recipe for target 'build' failed make: *** [build] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 debuild: fatal error at line 1376: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc failed
