Help with watch file needed

[Peter Spiess-Knafl <psk@autistici.org>]

Hello!

Can someone help me with the watchfile for the current libvncserver
sourcepackage?

https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/libvncserver

I am trying to package a new upstream version, but the current watchfile
cannot download/extract the newest upstream version. I already spend
some time trying to fix it, but honestly I am lost what the problem
could be.

I cloned the available git repository for this package at:
git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/libvncserver.git

When I try a gbp import-orig --uscan, I get the following error output:

gbp:info: Launching uscan...

..//LibVNC/libvncserver/archive/LibVNCServer-0.9.10.tar.gz: No such file
or directory at /usr/bin/mk-origtargz line 316.

..//LibVNC/libvncserver/archive/LibVNCServer-0.9.10.tar.gz gave error
exit status 2
gbp:error: Uscan failed - debug by running 'uscan --verbose'


uscan --verbose gives this:

The current maintainer (cc) seems to be busy. He also filed a RFA bug @
wnpp. I intent to adopt this package and already made some progress, but
I am lost on this.

Thank you and greetings.
