Hi,<br>thanks and it seemed that i indeed used a bigger measure than required :). now i removed that rule from install and what i did was to remove the execute bits from the the affected files in the package prior to building of package.The lintian warning is not there and i have tested the package , it seems to be working fine. I haven't reported the issue to upstream as i was not sure of my stand . Will report the issue today.<br>
<br>following is the link to rules file in git repo : <br><a href="http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/sugar-irc-activity.git;a=blob;f=debian/rules;h=4cdf3c612136a23a3fae588fa9ebe69af9d61d15;hb=HEAD">http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/sugar-irc-activity.git;a=blob;f=debian/rules;h=4cdf3c612136a23a3fae588fa9ebe69af9d61d15;hb=HEAD</a><br>
<br>(but i have removed the previous change i mentioned)<br><br>Also please tell whether i have done the same thing you wanted to convey or else please mention so that i can rectify.will be happy to learn from mistakes :).<br>
<br>Regards,<br>Ankur<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 5:23 AM, James Cameron <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:quozl@laptop.org">quozl@laptop.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

</div>Yes, that would do it. Large hammer for small nail. However you could<br>
also restrict your chmod to only the affected files, and do it to the<br>
files prior to install. Remind me where your debian/rules file is<br>
stored (git somewhere, if I recall correctly), and I can have a look.<br>
<br>
Also, have you reported it upstream and have they acknowledged?<br>

<br>
</div>I'm unsure of your meaning. I don't know if these files need to be +x,<br>
but my meagre research suggests not. You should do functional test on<br>
the package to make sure you can connect to an IRC server and have a<br>
conversation.<br>
