[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] building own packages via apt-get source

[From: Timo Steuerwald]

Hi all,

I tried to build automake1.7 via the source mirror of debian sarge
(stable). This appears on the console:

<--------------------------snip-------------------------->
[sbox-SDK_PC: ~] > fakeroot
sh-2.05b# apt-get source -b automake1.7
Reading Package Lists... Done

Need to get 747kB of source archives.

Build command 'cd automake1.7-1.7.9 && dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc' failed.
E: Child process failed
sh-2.05b#
<--------------------------snip-------------------------->

What does this mean? - No .deb package will be generated.
I use scratchbox 0.9.8.4 and Maemo rootstrap 1.0.

Cheers,

Timo
