That is the problem. It doesn't belong there. It belongs in debian/<packagename>/usr/bin and you should make sure that your Makefile installs it there. Note the comment: > # Add here commands to install the package into debian/s25manager. > install -d debian/tmp/usr/bin > install -m755 -o root -g root s25manager debian/tmp/usr/bin/s25manager Eric
