This worked great, but I needed to also install libextutils-pkgconfig-perl and libextutils-depends-perl, i.e change (1) to 1. apt install libglib2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev libvte-dev libvte-2.91-dev dh-make-perl libextutils-pkgconfig-perl libextutils-depends-perl, Is there a way to get this answer to float to the top? It would be helpful to whoever runs into this problem next. Thanks!
