unrepresentable changes to source
<posted & mailed>
When I download the texmacs source code from unstable
apt-get source texmacs
cd texmacs-1.0.7.2
and run
$dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
The compilation process works fine.
However if I make some trivial changes (say in debian/rules) and recompile
it using
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
then the compilation process stops with
dpkg-source -b texmacs-1.0.7.2
dpkg-source: info: using source format `1.0'

dpkg-buildpackage: failure: dpkg-source -b texmacs-1.0.7.2 gave error exit
status 1
It is a bit weird in the sense it does not occur when I download the package
afresh. But occurs only when I make some changes here and there and run
dpkg-buildpackage repeatedly.
Any idea what causes this error? Also, is there a way to fix it?
thanks
