[clug] building deb package roundcube

[jm]

In order to fix a bug in the current version of roundcube that is 
installed on our servers while maintaining some resemblence of order I'm 
attempting to build from a source package on a ubuntu karmic koala for 
installation on a production server with the same version of ubuntu. 
Debian seems to have the latest release, so...

Download roundcube package sources from 
http://packages.debian.org/source/squeeze/roundcube

# dpkg-source --nocheck -x roundcube_0.3.1-1.dsc -b
# cd roundcube-0.3.1
# dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b

and doing to manually,

# gzip -d roundcube_0.3.1-1.diff.gz
# tar zxvf roundcube_0.3.1.orig.tar.gz
# cd roundcubemail-0.3.1-dep
# patch -p1 < ../roundcube_0.3.1-1.diff
# dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b


both give

To those that know the debian packaging system better that I do what 
have I missed? I think I have all the required dependancies installed.
