dh: unable to load addon config-package

After installing the debuild toolchain with:

sudo apt-get install devscripts build-essential lintian

I got the following error when running debuild to build a package:

dh clean  --with=config-package
dh: unable to load addon config-package: Can't locate Debian/Debhelper/Sequence/config_package.pm in @INC
(you may need to install the Debian::Debhelper::Sequence::config_package module) (@INC contains: ...) at (eval 12) line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 12) line 2.

debian/rules:22: recipe for target 'clean' failed
Solution

  • I fixed it by installing the package config-package-dev

    sudo apt-get install config-package-dev
