As the repostory was only containing network-manager and related packages it could have worked, but it didn't and I never expected it to. I found a bug report covering packaging it for debian at: http://bugs.debian.org/270538 Maybe the already existing ubuntu package at bootlab might be of some help for the debian maintainer? > > When trying to install from source I get the following error: > > " > > 10:14|leka% LANG=C apt-get source network-manager > > Reading Package Lists...

I didn't want to post to the list with output in the sv_SE locale. The problem lies in that the MD5Sum for the correctly downloaded file does not match that for the "Files" field in network-manager_0.4.1+cvs20050817-0ubuntu5.dsc, but it does match the field in the ...-ubuntu4.dsc file. For some reason the .orig.tar.gz file has been changed between the versions on the packager's machine. After figuring out this, I bumped into problems with libdbus-glib-1-dev being to old (0.23) in sarge. I.e. lacking needed functions in the API. A newer version (0.34-3) was available in experimental. With all build dependencies satisfied building that version still failed, and that's were I give up today. -- /Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
