Regarding the -r option for dpkg-buildpackage, are there any examples of what's called for here? Is the gain-root-command something each developer provides for himself, or is there a command or shell somewhere that performs this function?
Invoked as root, dpkg-buildpackage works fine. But when I try to unpack the new package this is what happens: mycroft$ dpkg-source -x exmh_1.6.9-1.dsc dpkg-source: error: tarfile `./exmh_1.6.9.orig.tar.gz' contains object with newline in its name (exmh-1.6.9.orig/?exmh-1.6.9.orig/exmh.README?exmh-1.6.9.or ig/COPYRIGHT?exmh-1.6.9.orig/e...(rest of output deleted) This happens with the packages I build and with the hello package I downloaded from master. -- Karl Sackett [EMAIL PROTECTED] Run silent, run deep
