I assume that rm -rf doc/reference/{html,latex,rtf,xml} is a bashism, as replacing it with rm -rf doc/reference/html rm -rf doc/reference/latex rm -rf doc/reference/rtf rm -rf doc/reference/xml sorts at least that out. You should build the package in a pbuilder. There is quite a good explanation[1]. Having set things up, I build the package with sudo DIST=sid pdebuild which with the above change now FTBFS with: /tmp/buildd/syx-0.1.7/missing: line 54: makeinfo: command not found WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system. You should only need it if you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. The spurious call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX, DU, IRIX). You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or the `GNU make' package. Grab either from any GNU archive site. make[2]: *** [manual/syx.html] Error 1 which probably means that you should add Texinfo to the build-depends. > I updated the -1 package instead of uploading -2 or -3.

The changelog should contain packaging changes to the previous version, plus any bugs closed, so the only line necessary should be * Initial release (Closes: #457782) Regards Jeff [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
