Wouldn't it be better if you made the Debian-specific changes into a 1.3.9-2 and sent the upstream-related changes to the author? The sources released upstream can't be packaged easily into a Debian package. So, every time a release is made, I take the upstream sources make the modifications, add my setup files, and then prepare the package. After packaging I ask upstream to release the tar ball used for packaging on the flickrfs web page. This sometimes takes lot of time. So, I thought of putting the tar ball on my page. But, I guess that is not a good solution. So, for the current release I have again asked upstream to release the tar ball on the flickrfs page. It is available here: http://manishrjain.googlepages.com/flickrfs-1.3.9.1.tar.gz I have requested to merge my changes upstream, and I think it will be done from the next release. Meanwhile, I have made changes in the package and now it points to the upstream web page instead of mine. It is available here: http://varun.travisbsd.org/debian_packages/flickrfs/flickrfs_1.3.9.1-1.dsc Thanks Varun -- .''`.

I had the same error running the 1.3.9-2 version from the standard unstable repository, but using the 1.3.9-1 version provided by Varun Hiremath seems to have fixed that problem. Since the version on the repository is not operable, can this other version be moved in to replace it or the relevant fix applied to the version in the repository?
