Bug#299447: closed by Stefan Fritsch <sf@debian.org> (Bug#299447: fixed in gv 1:3.6.2-4)

[Sanjoy Mahajan <sanjoy@mrao.cam.ac.uk>]

I've also been using the following patch to build the new source
package on various flavors of Debian and Ubuntu.  The problem is that
quilt returns various error codes depending on the version of quilt.
For example:

For example, with Debian 3.1/i386, quilt 0.39-2:

  $ ( cd /tmp ; quilt pop -a ; echo $? )
  No patch removed
  1

With Ubuntu 7.04/i386, quilt 0.45-6:

  $ (cd /tmp ; quilt pop -a ; echo $? )
  No patch removed
  2

With Debian stable/testing/unstable mix, quilt 0.46-2:

  $ (cd /tmp ; quilt pop -a ; echo $? )
  No patch removed
  1

The quilt manpage doesn't document any exit codes, so I don't know
which version is correct, and instead work around it by allowing
either in the rules file.

Should I resubmit this email as a separate BTS entry?  It seemed too
tiny to be worth it, but let me know.
