I now know what was going on. Despite debian/rules not directly using make-kpkg, the build process somehow uses code delivered by kernel-package, which in turn honors ~/.kernel-pkg.conf, which on my system has config_target := menuconfig. That's a gotcha. > In any case, there is no way that what you try to do is something where > build-dependencies are involved, Can you please explain that? I am trying to convert a Debian source package (consisting of .orig.tar.gz, diff.gz and .dsc) into a set of Debian binary packages (.deb). The usual way to do so is to use the debuild command (or another of the dpkg-buildpackage frontends available in numerous different flavours) after installing build-essential and all packages listed in the Build-Depends line in debian/control. I must be missing something here, please enlighten me. Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
