Wrong. The changes are caused by the clean target and I get the same message just by running dpkg-buildpackage in the unpacked source (even *before* building). > dpkg-source -b lcms2-2.2+git20110628 > dpkg-source: info: using source format `3.0 (quilt)' > dpkg-source: warning: Version number suggests Ubuntu changes, but > Maintainer: does not have Ubuntu address > dpkg-source: warning: Version number suggests Ubuntu changes, but > there is no XSBC-Original-Maintainer field > dpkg-source: info: building lcms2 using existing > ./lcms2_2.2+git20110628.orig.tar.gz > dpkg-source: warning: newly created empty file 'config.status' will > not be represented in diff > dpkg-source: info: local changes detected, the modified files are: > lcms2-2.2+git20110628/Makefile > <patched files skipped> > dpkg-source: info: you can integrate the local changes with dpkg-source --commit > dpkg-source: error: aborting due to unexpected upstream changes, see > /tmp/lcms2_2.2+git20110628-2ubuntu3.diff.nAswlJ > dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-source -b lcms2-2.2+git20110628 gave > error exit status 2 > E: Failed autobuilding of package > > > Why dpkg-source thinks the patches are a problem and shouldn't be applied? It never said the patches are problem. The problem is Makefile files that are regenerated by configure called in the clean target. That these files are patched by debian/patches/debian-changes-* is another problem, caused by this one. This problem was reported in September as #643177 and fixed in the Debian package version 2.2+git20110628-2.1 in March. -- WBR, wRAR
