Brendan, That's because the attached patch expects the bundled patches are already applied.
Here's how I did (as non-root): $ sudo apt-get build-dep tsocks [--snip--] $ apt-get source tsocks [--snip--] $ cp 07_init.dpatch tsocks-1.8beta5/debian/patches/ $ cd tsocks-1.8beta5/ $ dpkg-buildpacakge -us -uc [--snip--] $ cd .. $ sudo apt-get purge tsocks $ sudo dpkg --install tsocks_1.8beta5-9.3_amd64.deb Also, to avoid tsocks being re-installed from the repository every time I run "make dist-upgrade", I simply uninstalled it before installing my locally-built tsocks (hence the "apt-get purge tsocks in the commands above). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574270 Title: applications segfault systematically with tsocks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tsocks/+bug/1574270/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
