This has been with me for a while. When ever I try building packages I end up with *dh_installdirs install -d debian/freeradi* *us/var/tmp/freera**dius-server-3.0**.x-290316/debia**n/freeradius.di**rs: 1: /var/tmp/freera**dius-server-3.0**.x-290316/debia**n/freeradius.di**rs: usr/lib/freerad* *ius: not found/var/tmp/freera**dius-server-3.0**.x-290316/debia* *n/freeradius.di**rs: 2: /var/tmp/freera**dius-server-3.0**.x-290316/debia* *n/freeradius.di**rs: var/log/freerad* *ius: not founddh_installdirs: problem reading debian/freeradi* *us.dirs:make: * [install-arch] Error 127dpkg-buildpacka**ge: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2* Eventually gave up and went to talk to helpful linux systems person upstairs. Here's what he said ..... The only changes I made were to remove execute permission from a lot of the files in debian/, which seems to affect how the dh suite treats the files. That's probably dependent on the version of the build utilities, but they shouldn't have random execute permissions on things, really. *chmod -x debian/*.{docs,**examples,instal**l,lintian-overr* *ides,manpages,p**ostinst,postrm,**preinst,prerm}* *chmod -x debian/README.** Those are the changes after unpacking; then I literally did *fakeroot dpkg-buildpacka**ge -b -us -uc* ..... then another message saying ... ..and here's the change to the build tools which made this all break! https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debhelper/debhelper.git/commit/?h=9.20120115&... If the FR folk want to fix this, they should either (a) fix the file permissions under debian/ as mentioned above, or they should change debian/compat to "8" instead of "9"..... I've just changed debian/compat to "8" and ....... package files built successfully on Ubuntu 14.04 AND on my Raspberry Pi 3 running Ubuntu MATE
