I'm trying to build gtk2.0-dbg .deb from source.

I downloaded:
 gtk+2.0_2.2.1-6.dsc
 gtk+2.0_2.2.1-6.diff.gz
 gtk+2.0_2.2.1.orig.tar.gz

then:
 tar -xzvf gtk+2.0_2.2.1.orig.tar.gz
 gunzip    gtk+2.0_2.2.1-6.diff.gz

patch -p0 < gtk+2.0_2.2.1-6.diff

cd gtk+2.0_2.2.1.orig

That's a ... convoluted (and wrong) way to extract a source package. Remove that gtk+2.0_2.2.1.orig directory, and try this instead:

dpkg-source -x gtk+2.0_2.2.1-6.dsc

I thought there was an easier way! So i tried:


~/SRC/GTK2: dpkg-source -x gtk+2.0_2.2.1-6.dsc

dpkg-source: extracting gtk+2.0 in gtk+2.0-2.2.1

~/SRC/GTK2: ls

gtk+2.0-2.2.1 gtk+2.0_2.2.1-6.diff.gz gtk+2.0_2.2.1-6.dsc gtk+2.0_2.2.1.orig.tar.gz

~/SRC/GTK2: dpkg-source -b gtk+2.0-2.2.1

  dpkg-source: building gtk+2.0 using existing gtk+2.0_2.2.1.orig.tar.gz
  dpkg-source: failure: md5sum gave bogus output `'

Should this step generate a .deb file?
