Yup, that is exactly the problem I was having. I've gotten some info from another sufferer on the Qt discussion boards (Michael Zanetti) -- it turns out that Qt places a copy of the code it is going to package in the directory "/tmp/qtc_packaging", but somehow forgets to set the permissions appropriately when it does so. He filed a bug report, and it is working its way through the Qt system; here's a link to it:

https://bugreports.qt-project.org/br...REATORBUG-6866

There are a couple of work-arounds for now; you can use the system I've described above (which I'm still using for my app), or you can try Michael's approach -- he slips in and changes the permission on the file while the build is running, by starting the following script right before he starts the wizard:

Code:

while [ true ]; do chmod +x /tmp/qtc_packaging/projectname/debian/rules; done

(Here's a link to the Qt discussion thread for more info.)
