Right, I didn't figured out because of the version in the package: When dealing with native packages, there is no need for adding a Debian revision, so your versions should look like 0.1, instead of a «common» 0.1-1 or so. Building the package on a pbuilder environment brings this error: checking for X... no checking for gconftool-2... no configure: error: gconftool-2 executable not found in your path - should be installed with GConf make: *** [config.status] Error 1 pbuilder: Failed autobuilding of package You should just need to build-depend on gconf2. And just a personal note. If there is not previous release of edsadmin in the Debian archive why list them on changelog.Debian.gz? This obviously will vary from any maintainer's point of view. But in this case, I just see debian/changelog needed for tracking package's changes which will be in the archive, and besides, this would reaffirm this since, being this a native package, you maintain ChangeLog (probably asked for avoiding any autoconf complains) and debian/changelog. I hope I could get myself clear and understandable :-) Regards, -- David Moreno Garza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | http://www.damog.net/ What the fuck is 'WTF'?
