I started having this problem about two weeks ago. It's possible it was caused by and apt-get upgrade to something newer. But both my desktop and laptop are running the same versions of packages. Before this problem started I had been running debuild with no errors. This is on my laptop.

debuild kdelibs-3.3.1 unstable

dh_gencontrol
dh_md5sums
dh_builddeb
dpkg-deb: conffile `/etc/debian/kdelibs-bin/etc/kde3/khotnewstuffrc' does not appear in package
dpkg-deb: building package `kdelibs-bin' in `../kdelibs-bin_3.3.1-3.1_i386.deb'.
dh_builddeb: command returned error code 512
make[1]: *** [binary-common] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tfunicron/backup/sources/kdelibs-3.3.1'
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 2
debuild: fatal error at line 764:
dpkg-buildpackage failed!

now my desktop conffile is '/etc/kde3/khotnewstuffrc'


this is debuild kdenetwork-3.3.1 unstable

dh_gencontrol
dh_md5sums

my desktop conffile is '/etc/kde3/ksircrc'

Now I am sorry but I am new to this but it seems it's adding /etc/debian/"name of package" before the actual /etc/kde3

Anyone know what might be causing this or how to fix it? It also happens with kdebase or anything else for that matter.

thanks for your time
