How to fix this?

dpkg-deb: building package 'grive' in '../grive_0.5.1+git20160731_amd64.deb'.
dpkg-deb: building package 'grive-dbgsym' in 'debian/.debhelper/scratch-space/build-grive/grive-dbgsym_0.5.1+git20160731_amd64.deb'.

Not really a proper solution, but I just used checkinstall which in turn calls plain make instead of dpkg-buildpackage. First change to build subdirectory created by the previous build command, which is probably something like: cd obj-x86_64-linux-gnu Then use checkinstall, or make install.

sudo checkinstall

And follow the instructions if needed. Voilá..

Why do you need to fix it? It still makes deb packages, just install them with dpkg -i

hey, glad to see you here, i'm sorry to ask you this, but any plan on releasing new version?

[vitalif]

No plans currently, but PRs are welcome as usual :)

This is a dpkg-buildpackage issue: I think it has a flag to not run the signing step.

Successfully built package with dpkg-buildpackage -j4 --no-sign. Tested in Ubuntu 22.04.
