You've got the upstream tarball for 1.1.2 but you've matched that with the Debian packaging for 1.0.0-git-1. It's not surprising that the patches don't work. As advised by Medhi in the bug report, if you try to build 1.1.3 in both versions it works. dget will download the orig.tar.bz2 as well as the Debian packaging and will always ensure that the version of the packaging precisely matches the version of the upstream it was intended to build. Lowering the severity of this bug to stop it interfering with the release, I'll let the VLC maintainers close it if they agree that the original "steps to reproduce" showed an invalid build method. (The patch tag is meant to be used when you have supplied a patch that fixes the problem, not when the problem itself is due to an existing patch not working.) > Same problem with vlc_1.1.3.ori.tar.bz2 Match vla_1.1.3.orig.tar.bz2 with the Debian packaging *for* version 1.1.3-1 (as Mehdi detailed in this comment), and it builds fine. If there remain issues with how 1.1.3-1 operates once it is built, please explain in a reply to the bug report. -- Neil Williams = http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/ pgpxtLEpZept5.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
