The problem is that stable-security is a separate archive, and requires a sourceful upload. Give the '-sa' option to dpkg-buildpackage to overrule the heuristic that says only -1 and -0 packages need to have their source included. Also see http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs#s-bug-security which says to simply mail updated packages to the security team, and to not normally upload them yourself. A subsection of this section has also the answer to your question: | Unless the upstream source has been uploaded to security.debian.org | before (by a previous security update), build the upload with full | upstream source (dpkg-buildpackage -sa). If there has been a previous | upload to security.debian.org with the same upstream version, you may | upload without upstream source (dpkg-buildpackage -sd). --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl
