dpkg-buildpackage: dpkg-source: no upstream tarball found

[chrishell <chris@chrishell.de>]

Hello together,
I have an issue with the new version of my package free42-nologo. I
processed this the usual way: downloading, unpacking, debianize it with
dh_make and making some changes with dquilt (makefile mainly). Then I
invoked dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc and here I got en error for
the wrong archive format of upstream:

dpkg-source: error: can't build with source format '3.0 (quilt)': no
upstream tarball found at
../free42-nologo_1.4.77.orig.tar.{bz2,gz,lzma,xz} no upstream tarball ...

I tried to circumvent this by unpacking the actual archive, and then
created a tarball an 'gzippd' it, but not even this helped here. Does
anybody have a clue, how to solve this?

Thank you in advance

Best Regards Christian
