Do you mean cd ../gnucash-2.2.6, since the directory I am in at this point is /download/gnucash, or do you want a new directory guncash-2.2.9 to be created somewhere? If the former, it seems to me that there is an extra ../ and an extra gnucash-2.2.6 -- two of each rather than one. If the object of the exercise is to create gnucash-2.2.6, shouldn't the directories now be so named? > cp -r ../../gnucash-2.2.6/gnucash-2.2.6/debian ./ > cd debian > The changelog is more than information; it is critical for debuild processing. > Add something similar to the following at the top (the syntax is very fussy) > gnucash (2.2.9-0) stable; urgency=high > * 2.2.6 segfaults with libglib from lenny-backports > -- John Sullivan <myname(a)mycompany.com> Sat, 27 Mar 2010 19:18:00 -0500 > Edit the control file and edit the two Replaces lines so they read: > Replaces: gnucash-common (<< 2.2.6-3) > Replaces: gnucash (<< 2.2.6-3) > Edit the files file so it reads: > gnucash-common_2.2.9-0_all.deb gnome optional > gnucash_2.2.9-0_amd64.deb gnome optional > debuild will complain about the -0 but I do not want to give it -1 in case the real 2.2.9 package is -1 when it is released. > cd .. > debuild -us -uc > cd .. > The two .deb files should be in this directory and can be installed where needed > Any corrections to the process are welcome as I am by no means an > expert.

It has been a while since I've done this but, after you untar the gnucash-2.2.9.tar.bz2, don't you have a gnucash-2.2.9 directory into which we are now going to copy the debian folder from 2.2.6 so we can build it into a Debian package? > Do > you mean cd ../gnucash-2.2.6, since the directory I am in at this point > is /download/gnucash, or do you want a new directory guncash-2.2.9 to be > created somewhere?

Yes, it did create directory /download/gnucash/gnucash-2.2.9.

If I recall correctly, though, your architecture is not amd64 so you will need to use whatever is appropriate for you.
