I don't know where you get the instructions, but I think that you got some things wrong (somebody will correct me if it's me who is wrong, hopefully). I had to follow these steps to get the right files: $ dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/pev/pev_0.22-1.dsc [...] $ tar xavf pev_0.22.orig.tar.gz AUTHORS LICENSE Makefile pe.h pev.1 pev.c README VERSION This is wrong, the .orig. has to contain the files in "pev-0.22" directory, so: $ mkdir pev-0.22 $ tar xavf pev_0.22.orig.tar.gz -C pev-0.22/ AUTHORS LICENSE Makefile pe.h pev.1 pev.c README VERSION $ tar cavf pev_0.22.orig.tar.gz pev-0.22/ pev-0.22/ pev-0.22/LICENSE pev-0.22/Makefile pev-0.22/pe.h pev-0.22/AUTHORS pev-0.22/VERSION pev-0.22/README pev-0.22/pev.c pev-0.22/pev.1 Now .orig contains the same files but inside "pev-0.22". Patching worked all right: $ gunzip -c pev_0.22-1.diff.gz | patch -p0 patching file pev-0.22/debian/control patching file pev-0.22/debian/compat patching file pev-0.22/debian/copyright patching file pev-0.22/debian/watch patching file pev-0.22/debian/pev.dirs patching file pev-0.22/debian/changelog patching file pev-0.22/debian/rules patching file pev-0.22/debian/source/format By the way, maybe you should use the format "3.0 (quilt)" [1], it seems to be preferred now and it requires very few changes. [1] http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0 So what I did is to put "3.0 (quilt)" in debian/source/format, then, inside the directory "pev-0.22", debuild without signing: $ debuild -us -uc And everything worked perfectly. The important resulting files are: - pev_0.22.orig.tar.gz (as before) - pev_0.22-1.debian.tar.gz (substituted your initial pev_0.22-1.diff.gz, it has the same contents but in tar format) - pev_0.22-1.dsc - pev_0.22-1_i386.changes Cheers. -- Manuel A.
