You can grab this from any debian archive. For example, from here: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/qpdf/ you can grab these files: qpdf_2.1.3.orig.tar.gz qpdf_2.1.3-1.dsc qpdf_2.1.3-1.debian.tar.gz The only problem is that Ubuntu 8.04 might be too old to support the newer quilt source format. If it does, you can run dpkg-source -x qpdf_2.1.3-1.dsc cd qpdf-2.1.3 If not, you can instead just run tar xzf qpdf_2.1.3.orig.tar.gz cd qpdf-2.1.3 tar xzf ../qpdf_2.1.3-1.debian.tar.gz This latter set of commands won't apply any patches, but there are no patches in qpdf in debian. (Since I maintain qpdf upstream and for debian, there is not likely to ever be patches in the debian version.) >From the qpdf-2.1.3 directory, the easiest way to build is debuild -B -us -uc rather than running dpkg-buildpackage, though dpkg-buildpackage will work fine. The above builds binary only and doesn't try to sign anything. Hope that helps.
