It's installed at this step

I found that nothing actually installed the resulting mta-local_1.0_all.deb in the last step of the "software invidually" method. I noticed this problem when an unrelated apt-get gave me all sorts of dep problems. I simply did a dpkg -i mta-local_1.0_all.deb and all was well.

This line:

dh-make-perl --build --install --cpan'IP::Country::Fast'

fails in my Debian 3.0.6 system with the following error:

Can't locate object method "arch" via package "DhMakePerl::Command::make" at /usr/share/perl5/DhMakePerl/Command/make.pm line 307.

But the build and .deb package creation fnishes all right, so I just removed the '--install' part and installed the resulting package with dpkg -i

I have an older update buried on my site for a Debian Qmailrocks install. The steps are probably a little old but the notes there might help someone. Its not 100% complete though:

Hello Mark,

It allows visitors to see the original sources location. Moreover, it allows more expert visitors to adapt my procedure with newer version of some softwares (for instance the beta version of vpopmail)

Why bother with the choice? You are specifying the versions to download so you get the same packages and versions anyway.AMSR9
