Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.15.7.2
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/dpkg-source
Hi,
the command
dpkg-source -b foobar-1.0~
fails to create a valid tarball for a native package (did not try
non-native) because the directory name ends with a tilde. If I
uncompress the 45 bytes .tar.gz, I get a file that consists of
10240 '\0' bytes, nothing else.
A small script to generate such a package (using dh_make) is attached,
the faulty file it generates is pkg3_1.0.tar.gz.
It also tests other variations (pkg1: no tilde, pkg2: tilde at end of
the version but not in the directory name, pkg4: tilde inside directory
name) and simple tarball creation (pkg3.tar.gz).
