Analog for rpm --rebuild ipchains-x.y.z.src.rpm is install packages required to build source package apt-get build-dep ipchains (as root) build source package fakeroot apt-get source -b ipchains (as any user) install built package dpkg -i ipchains-x.y.z.deb (as root) This requires proper strings for source packages in sources.list. Something like: deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb-src ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free It is from my sources.list. I run testing but install sometimes packages from unstable via compilation of source packages. P.S. I'm not sure if 'apt-get build-dep' works with apt version on stable. If it doesn't work you will need to manually install required for build packages. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Ilya Martynov (http://martynov.org/) | | GnuPG 1024D/323BDEE6 D7F7 561E 4C1D 8A15 8E80 E4AE BE1A 53EB 323B DEE6 | | AGAVA Software Company (http://www.agava.com/) | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
