Thanks for that. Some debugging reveals that the issue is due to the
different ways in which directory structures are stored in the .orig
tarballs.
The script is expecting a tarball that looks like this:
drwxr-xr-x pbuilder/pbuilder 0 2009-02-12 19:20 devscripts-2.10.46/
-rw-r--r-- pbuilder/pbuilder 14084 2009-01-09 21:51 devscripts-2.10.46/README
drwxr-xr-x pbuilder/pbuilder 0 2009-02-12 19:20 devscripts-2.10.46/Devscripts/
which becomes "./", "./README", "./Devscripts/", etc.
Your tarball looks like this:
drwxrwxr-x kiuchi/kiuchi 0 2009-02-17 16:52 ./gnview-0.8.11/
-rw-r--r-- kiuchi/kiuchi 659 2009-02-17 16:47 ./gnview-0.8.11/AUTHORS
-rw-r--r-- kiuchi/kiuchi 15214 2009-02-17 16:47 ./gnview-0.8.11/COPYING
which again wants to become "./", "./AUTHORS", "./COPYING", etc.
I was pointed on IRC to a package which fails with yet another format:
drwx------ pox/pox 0 2008-07-02 20:32 ./
drwxr-xr-x pox/pox 0 2008-07-02 20:32 ./PyGPU-0.2.0a-629/
drwxr-xr-x pox/pox 0 2008-07-02 20:32 ./PyGPU-0.2.0a-629/pygpu/
where the initial "./" needs ignoring, as "./PyGPU-0.2.0a-629/" will get
transformed in to "./" anyway.
I have a patch to handle all three formats, which I'll commit shortly
after a small tidy-up.
Regards,
Adam
