Thanks Isaac,

I don't post basic questions very often as I can mostly find the answers
by searching the internet and trying myself to solve them base on the
hints mentioned on similar problems. But if I am stuck, I usually try to
ask them as specific and detail as possible in a long boring email like
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20150607.154320.b31195f0.en.html.

I want to switch off one of my VPS' by end of this year as I am not
happy with the provider. It has been idle and doing nothing in the last
2 months as there is no application running on it after I clean
installed it due to the problem that the provider made. Instead of
restoring the backup, I moved all applications to my other VPS. Before
the contract expire, I thought I better try to use it to host electrum
server (https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-server) for myself which I
have never done before. But I am stuck in re-compiling
https://packages.debian.org/sid/bitcoind which is required for that.

I did "grep -R common-install-prehook-arch *" or "grep -R prehook *" on
bitcoin-0.11.0 directory, but it found nothing. I also manually checked
the debian/rules.

Yes. I also thought that was related to cdbs package. The one installed
was from wheezy repository. But I still get the same error after I
upgraded that.

anto@hp8530w:~$ apt-cache policy cdbs
cdbs:
