[N]ow, 'apt-get source emc' downloads 'emc_1.0-29.tar.gz' and 'emc_1.0-29.dsc'. However, 'dpkg -l emc' reports that the version on bdi 4.38 is actually '1.0-38'.
Following up my earlier message, I tried to buid emc_1.0-29 according to the instructions in the debian apt-howto (http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html) As that page suggests, I ran apt-get -b source emc which eventually fails: ... dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture is i386 deb/rules clean /usr/bin/dpkg-buildpackage: line 175: debian/rules: No such file or directory Build command 'cd emc-1.0 && dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc' failed. E: Child process failed The 'rules' file is listed as 'required stuff under debian/' in the Debian New Maintainers Guide, so I can only assume that the source archive that 'apt-get' downloaded has somehow become damaged. Thanks for any pointers you can give me. Jeff
