hi, today i tried to build my first debian package but run immidiatly in an error. i did (nearly ;-) everything as told by the script 'making a debian package' but after the command build i got the messages: no utmp entry available, using value of LOGNAME ("mdt") at /usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl line 16. parsechangelog/debian: error: badly formatted heading line, at changelog line 1 dpkg-buildpackage: unable to determine source package one problem i have is, that i programmed the package myself and there was a warning to set DESTDIR in the makefile. in the script is written that i have to set it to debian/tmp if it's available. i just wrote the makefile, so it's not but deb-make asks for it. what shall i do & what is it for? next i don't understand the first error of build. is it the problem of the libc6-utmp change - wasn't there something? but the second error seems to be more serious. in line 1 of my changelogfile is nothing wrong compared to the script. it just says: z (1.0-1) unstable; urgency=low (my package is called 'z' for now) is the name a problem (too short)?
