Query about Debian
I have sware problem with debian :( :( i am working on fixing the bug in the package 'testdisk'. Well how can i continue work, because its 8th time i ran the command *apt-get build-dep testdisk. The problem i am facing is that, after this command execution, i can not work smoothly i.e. many of utilities do not work properly like web browser and in any case i shutdown debian , when i come bck to work next time , the debian no more works. It appers in light grey color as k for username password and become halted. so after that i again install debian and run the same command. I think the fetched dependencies do something wrong. i have these lines written in sources.list : *dep http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/sid main dep-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/sid main Please help as soon as possible.

It builds these binary packages:
gtkvncviewer - Small GTK tool to connect to VNC servers.

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. I sent such a
request last month and got a comment, which I acted upon, but it seems
then the package got forgotten. That would be great if someone could
have a new look at it.
Just a quick look:
- debian/changelog format looks strange
- debian/control
- Homepage is missing
- why do you depend on libgnome-keyring0?
- use pycentral or pysupport and ${python:Depends} instead of
depending on python2.5
- why does description start with empty line?
- try to describe package more than just one sentence
- debian/rules
- do not use mkdir, install, use dh_install instead
- no need for configure target if it is not used
- no need to set CFLAGS, you don't compile anything
- please remove commented out things
- package should be built by binary-indep as it is arch all
- you should not pass debian/changelog to dh_installchangelogs
- debian/dirs is IMHO not needed at all
- debian/copyright
- upstream tarball does not indicate that the
package is GPL, try contacting upstream to include license
information in package
- This package was py2debianized(0.3-gtkvncviewer)?
- please use lintian:

Ambareen! Since this is mentor's list, not user's, i'll try to explain you what you're doing wrong from a Debian developer's point of view. What you do want actually is to have a _stable_ OS. So please use Etch in your source.list. If you just considering to start mixing you own system with testing or unstable, please reconsider again: you should know what you doing. For the purpose of package buildings for Sid use another methods such as pbuilder.

Also moved from cdbs to dh7. New version uploaded to mentors. I see that the SVN is more up-to-date. You should strip down the changelog. For a first release, it makes no sense to say that you moved From cdbs to dh7. You already tagged 1.0.6-1 in SVN.
