While debianizing one package from source, i got following error. Plz help to resolve this.

The package seems to be missing a build dependency to package "cdbs".

Thanks for the Reply...

I cdbs was already there.. Then i updraded that..

But now i am getting this error.

You should clean out the build tree after updating cdbs

It is suppose to clean the directory for you but it looks like that step is failing
