Hi all, It turns out that build-essentials doesn't bring in debhelper, but installing it by itself fixed that error. The only problem is that now I have another error:

I'm running Debian 6.0 (known as Squeeze I think?), but the options the ATI tool gives me are: Debian Packages: Debian/sid Debian/unstable Debian/etch Debian/stable Debian/lenny Debian/testing Debian/experimental Any ideas what's best to choose?
