Package: pristine-tar
Version: 0.13
Severity: important

A git repository which yesterday was using properly pristine-tar to
checkout a tarball, is today failing with exit code 2 (though actually
*after* the tarball has been checked out properly). Here is a console
log showing the problem:

  $ ls *.tar.gz
  ls: cannot access *.tar.gz: No such file or directory

  $ pristine-tar checkout sexplib310_3.7.4.orig.tar.gz
  cannot chdir to /tmp/pristine-tar.9maly5vk6r/workdir/sexplib310-3.7.4 from 
/tmp/pristine-tar.9maly5vk6r: No such file or directory, aborting. at 
/usr/share/perl5/File/Temp.pm line 901
  END failed--call queue aborted at /usr/bin/pristine-tar line 724.
  pristine-tar: failed to generate tarball

  $ echo $?
  2

  $ ls *.tar.gz
  sexplib310_3.7.4.orig.tar.gz

Even though the tarball is checkout properly (also the md5sums are the
right one), this behaviour is problematic for scripts relying on
pristine-tar exit code; most notably it is making git-buildpackage fail
a build when using pristine-tar.

I bet it is related to new perl-modules as today is the first day I
upgraded to a perl of the 5.10.x series.

Beside that, many thanks for this very clever tool :-)
Cheers.
