The debian build script is not maintained. What is your target OS?

[johanvdw]

Probably you can fix the build by replacing the variables in the debian/changelog files yourself.

I'm trying to build it on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. If I can use mapslicer without building the deb then I would be happy to do that.

I did plenty of googling and found a similar suggestion re: changing the changelog files, but not enough detail to allow me to do it. I'm not an expert by any stretch with building debs.

Please see how we install Mapslicer for OSGeo-Live:
https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive/blob/master/bin/install_mapslicer.sh

I hope this helps.
