Bug#5225: dpkg-dev doesn't handle epochs
Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.4.0.3
When building packages with an epoch (f.e. Version: 1:1.2.10-1), dpkg
builds all .deb files and the .dsc file without the epoch in the
filename, and dpkg-buildpackage and dpkg-genchanges look for the
package with the epoch. For instance, if I have the package foo, with
the version 1:1.0-1 in the changelog, dpkg will build the package in
foo_1.0-1_arch.deb, and the source in foo_1.0.orig.tar.gz,
foo_1.0-1.diff.gz, and foo_1.0-1.dsc, and the binary in
foo_1.0-1_arch.deb. dpkg-buildpackage will then try to sign
foo_1:1.0-1.dsc. If this problem is worked around by moving the .dsc
file, then dpkg-gencontrol complains it can not find
foo_1:1.0-1_arch.deb.
The fix is to strip the epoch from the version when building the
.changes file and signing the changes and dsc files.
