Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL - Quota patch fails

Hi everyone!

I followed this how-to on debian and it works perfectly, except the quota patch.

Here is what I did:

apt-get install build-essential dpkg-dev fakeroot debhelper libdb4.2-dev libgdbm-dev libldap2-dev libpcre3-dev libmysqlclient10-dev libssl-dev libsasl2-dev postgresql-dev po-debconf dpatch

cd /usr/src
apt-get source postfix
wget http://web.onda.com.br/nadal/postfix/VDA/postfix-2.1.5-trash.patch.gz
tar xfz postfix_2.1.5.orig.tar.gz
gunzip postfix-2.1.5-trash.patch.gz
cd postfix-2.1.5
patch -p1 < ../postfix-2.1.5-trash.patch
dpkg-buildpackage

Here is the error message:

dpkg-parsechangelog: error: cannot open debian/changelog to find format: No such file or directory
dpkg-buildpackage: unable to determine source package

I tried to patch the source with the 2.1.5-9 diff.gz package, by doing:

zcat postfix_2.1.5-9.diff.gz | patch -p0

Everything went ok, but when building:

ns1:/usr/src/postfix-2.1.5# dpkg-buildpackage
dpkg-buildpackage: source package is postfix
dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 2.1.5-9
dpkg-buildpackage: source maintainer is LaMont Jones <[email protected]>
dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture is i386
debian/rules clean
/usr/bin/dpkg-buildpackage: line 175: debian/rules: Permission denied

The line 175 in debian/rules states:

install debian/update-libc.d ${base}/etc/resolvconf/update-libc.d/postfix

What next? I'm puzzled...

Any help is appreciated.

BTW, very nice How-To, Falko!
Do you think that it can be done on Debian Etch? What would be the modifications to the configuration files (Postfix 2.2.x and dcc-client not included, I think).

Come on!

Someone can help me for sure!

Please...

 

I'm replying to myself, hehe..

I managed to figure out what was wrong.
After
apt-get source postfix
I accidentally deleted the Postfix-2.1.5 folder. Untar/gziping and patching to 2.1.5-9 didn't do the trick.
So, I deleted everything in the folder, followed step-by-step the tutorial in that area and Voila! It's working.
