per post #10 by jbebel I found this instruction page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuPackagingGuide/BuildFromDebdiff
Following those instructions, the debdiff patch appeared (I am a novice with little experience at this level) to build properly with no errors and created (appeared to be new) lirc-x_0.9.0-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb file. The final instruction of "BuildFromDebdiff" page is to install with: sudo dpkg -i ../lirc-x_0.9.0-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb This is the resulting output: [myuser]@mythtv01:~/lirc$ sudo dpkg -i ../lirc-x_0.9.0-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb dpkg: error processing ../lirc-x_0.9.0-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb (--install): cannot access archive: No such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing: ../lirc-x_0.9.0-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb So, the patch did not work for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1004239 Title: lirc postinst lists modules from incorrect directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/1004239/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
