Get the sources, put them somewhere. cd /usr/src dpkg-source -x /(yourPath)/sendmail.8.9.dsc This will patch the sources, extrakt them and put them into the right place. Then you cd sendmail8.9 debian/rules binary and (hopefully) get a *.DEB package in /usr/src. This custom-version (even if it's the same version number) can just be installed by cd .. dpkg -i sendmail8.9.deb and will upgrade your existing sendmail. Kind regards Frederick
