Today while I am building package from source by using deb-src, I get awesome error related with SPACE and TAB. As you can expect, there can be many reason why this error is happen but for me it was copy-paste issue related with my editor.

While building package I had to change parameters about how package should be compiled.

I copy necessary file via right click and paste it to my file. While it’s happening my awesome editor changed the spaces in wrong way than while I am building package I get this error.

• Run docker container with volume mount when you are in project directory
  docker run -it -v $(pwd):/tmpdir <imagename> /bin/bash

  1	docker run  -it -v  $(pwd):/tmpdir <imagename> /bin/bash

• Copy your files
  cp necesaaryfile1 necessaryfile2 /tmpdir/

  1	cp necesaaryfile1 necessaryfile2 /tmpdir/

• Edit files with editor which you think that is not going to change tabs or spaces.
