#1 Re: How do I patch a Debian package Posted by Steve (82.41.xx.xx) on Sat 24 Sep 2005 at 07:30 Two quick comments: Nobody can look at your package if you only provide the .deb file. We'd need to see the source from which it was produced. I suspect that rsync ignores the debian/patches directory - a quick scan of the source had no obvious references to it. If so your assessment that the patch wasn't applied appears valid. If that is the problem get the source: mkdir /tmp/rsync/ cd /tmp/rsync/ apt-get source rsync cd rsync-* Make your changes (ie. apply the patch). Then run debuild, and ignore the patches directory.
