Hi, at
svn://svn.debian.org/debian-med/trunk/packages/saint/trunk/ I did some preparation for a new package. It needs a fairly simple patch for the Makefile (just s/rm/rm -f/). When I try to build the package with the debian/ dir from SVN with an *unchanged* tarball which does contain *two* directories: __MACOSX SAINT_v2.3.3 debuild fails with: ... dh_clean dpkg-source -b SAINT_v2.3.3 dpkg-source: info: using source format `3.0 (quilt)' dpkg-source: info: building saint using existing ./saint_2.3.3.orig.tar.gz can't find file to patch at input line 3 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- |--- SAINT_v2.3.3.orig/Makefile |+++ SAINT_v2.3.3/Makefile -------------------------- No file to patch. Skipping patch. 1 out of 1 hunk ignored dpkg-source: error: LC_ALL=C patch -t -F 0 -N -p1 -u -V never -g0 -E -b -B .pc/fix-makefile.patch/ < SAINT_v2.3.3.orig.8T3hfI/debian/patches/fix-makefile.patch gave error exit status 1 dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-source -b SAINT_v2.3.3 gave error exit status 2 debuild: fatal error at line 1350: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc failed I can confirm that a simple quilt push is able to find the file to patch. Moreover if I do *repack* the source tarball and simply remove the __MACOSX directory everything is fine and the package builds nicely. The question is: Is this a quilt bug (which I could not really think about because quilt itself runs fine) or what might be the problem. Repackaging would not be a real problem but I would like to understand the issue to possibly be able to detect a bug.
