Hi,

My debian/ folder just contains an empt changelog file. I am new to bzr-buildpackage and thought it would help me to generate the debian files?

Kind Regards,
Manuel

Hi,

Nope, bzr-builddeb won't help you do that, you need to do that bit yourself,
or use something like dh_make.

python-debian shouldn't crash like this if the changelog is empty though,
so that should be fixed.

Thanks,

James

This is actually a fault in the 'python-debian' package; please see bug #400589.
