My first .deb :-) doesn't work :-(

[Sandsound]

Yay... I have just made my first .deb :-)

Problem is that it doesn't work i the package manager, but I can install it using dpkg :
sudo dpkg -i isometric_0.1-1.deb

Is there any way to debug a deb ? or perhaps someone can point out what I have done wrong.

edit : see post #6, new and almost working example here : isometric_0.1-1_i386.deb (http://www.sandgreen.dk//xt2/files/isometric_0.1-1_i386.deb)

I'm using GDebi (actually I just double-click it)

btw. I'm running Karmic

[baskar007]

reinstall GDebi and try again?

how you packed the deb?
command or dhmake?

GDebi is NOT the problem, it works fine with all other .deb files.
The problem is my self-generated .deb file

I used dpkg-deb --build isometric_0.1-1

I found this how-to : http://showmedo.com/videotutorials/video?name=linuxJensMakingDeb

Now my .deb actually works with GDebi, but it is only usable as root ?
The .deb installed it in /usr/share/isometric/

isometric_0.1-1_i386.deb (http://www.sandgreen.dk//xt2/files/isometric_0.1-1_i386.deb)

edit : I was using :
sudo dpkg-buildpackage
Tried again with :
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
And now it works
