Paquets étiquetés : I think there is a problem, the new package will be installed if I remove apt-build from sources.list. In addition, if I clean-repository, the reference for the package with filename "./<package>-<version>.deb" still exists while it is removed from the repository... Is it normal ? You should probably run build-repository after.
