dpkg-buildpackage error when patching postfix

[Douglas Stanley]

Are you starting with the plain postfix source tarball, or did you download
all the debian source package files (like the escape and different files)?

Can you explain what all you did before you applied the vda patch?

Hello all,

I've been lurking on the list for a while but this is my first official post
of desperation =).

I'm attempting to apply the VDA quota patch to postfix-2.5.1 but it's
failing at the dpkg-buildpackage stage.

I have sucessfully patched the source as follows

bash# cd /usr/src/
bash# apt-get build-dep postfix
bash# apt-get source postfix
bash# wget http://vda.sourceforge.net/VDA/postfix-2.6.5-vda-ng.patch.gz
bash# gunzip postfix-2.5.1-vda-ng.patch.gz
bash# cd postfix-2.5.1
bash# patch -p1 < ../postfix-2.5.1-vda-ng.patch

I then execute dpkg-buildpackage in the /usr/src/postfix-2.5.1/ directory

bash# dpkg-buildpackage

However the output is as follows

dpkg-buildpackage: set CPPFLAGS to default value:
dpkg-buildpackage: set CFLAGS to default value: -g -O2
dpkg-buildpackage: set CXXFLAGS to default value: -g -O2
dpkg-buildpackage: set FFLAGS to default value: -g -O2
dpkg-buildpackage: set LDFLAGS to default value: -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions
tail: cannot open `debian/changelog' for reading: No such file or directory
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: tail of debian/changelog gave error exit status
1

I've searched hi and low but as of yet have been unsuccessful in resolving
the issue. I would imagine it is something simple I'm missing - as is
usually the case.

Thanks in advance for any response.
