Try putting /usr/bin in front. You do have autoconf installed? I get: dh_testdir # Add here commands to compile the package. autoconf -l autoconf autoconf/configure.in >configure autoconf/configure.in:325: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling autoconf/configure.in:328: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling autoconf/configure.in:591: AC_TRY_COMPILE was called before AC_ISC_POSIX autoconf/configure.in:591: AC_TRY_RUN was called before AC_ISC_POSIX So works fine. If I don't have autoconf installed and have . at the beginning of PATH, then I just get the message: /bin/sh: autoconf: command not found What shell do you use for /bin/sh ? Probably not bash...
