Hi Michele,

Yes, the tde-packaging scripts do indeed make things very easy. I wasn't 
having a problem using them, they are brilliant compared to how I used 
to build TDE, it was just how I had writen my launch scripts.

My problem on Jessie arose really from trying to use 'gdebi' in my 
scripts to resolve dependencies rather than 'mk-build-deps'. I can't 
remember why I changed to 'gdebi' in the past from 'mk-build-deps', but 
as I mentioned, gdebi doesn't seem to work on Jessie, at least for me.

Cheers,
Mike.
