Hi I'm getting following error while building the package. Could anyone help me with this.

dpkg-deb: building package 'patrol' in '../tsom-patrol_0.1-1_all.deb'.
dpkg-deb: error: failed to make temporary file (control member): Permission denied
dh_builddeb: dpkg-deb --build debian/tsom-patrol .. returned exit code 2

Much more details are needed. – Pilot6 May 05 '20 at 18:55
What are the more details you require regarding this? – Guptha May 05 '20 at 18:56
Where did you get the source? How are you building? I see that there is some permission error that stops the build. There may be lots of reasons for it. – Pilot6 May 05 '20 at 18:58
The source is just a tar file. My script extracts the tar file and runs the installation command. So i'm trying to build a deb package for that operation. – Guptha May 05 '20 at 19:05
either your script is wrong, or the source has wrong permissions. How can anyone guess? – Pilot6 May 05 '20 at 19:33
I copied my script in the preinst section. Is that the right way to do? – Guptha May 05 '20 at 19:35
It depends on what the script is doing. But normally if the script unpacks the tar, it is not done this way. – Pilot6 May 05 '20 at 19:40
Is there any way i can communicate with you? – Guptha May 05 '20 at 19:48
You can [edit] your question and add the details on what you are doing. Then someone can answer the question. – Pilot6 May 05 '20 at 19:50
Do you suggest any instructions to build a native debian package. – Guptha May 05 '20 at 20:03
