Interesting. I just took your exact lines, created a fake
debian/changelog (with version 1.9f-7) and got:
$ uscan --verbose
-- Scanning for watchfiles in .
-- Found watchfile in ./debian
-- In debian/watch, processing watchfile line:
ftp://ftp.genetics.wustl.edu/pub/eddy/software/squid-(.*)\.tar\.gz
-- Found the following matching files:
squid-1.9a.tar.gz
squid-1.9b.tar.gz
squid-1.9c.tar.gz
squid-1.9d.tar.gz
squid-1.9e.tar.gz
squid-1.9f.tar.gz
squid-1.9g.tar.gz
Newest version on remote site is 1.9g, local version is 1.9f
=> Newer version available from
ftp://ftp.genetics.wustl.edu/pub/eddy/software/squid-1.9g.tar.gz
-- Downloading updated package squid-1.9g.tar.gz
...
So I guess the watch file syntax is correct. Maybe some network
problem at your side or at ftp.genetics.wustl.edu?
