Quilt bug or needs repackaging?
Hi,
at
svn://svn.debian.org/debian-med/trunk/packages/saint/trunk/
I did some preparation for a new package. It needs a fairly simple
patch for the Makefile (just s/rm/rm -f/). When I try to build the
package with the debian/ dir from SVN with an *unchanged* tarball
which does contain *two* directories:
__MACOSX
SAINT_v2.3.3
debuild fails with:
...
dh_clean
dpkg-source -b SAINT_v2.3.3
dpkg-source: info: using source format `3.0 (quilt)'
dpkg-source: info: building saint using existing ./saint_2.3.3.orig.tar.gz
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|--- SAINT_v2.3.3.orig/Makefile
|+++ SAINT_v2.3.3/Makefile
--------------------------
No file to patch. Skipping patch.
1 out of 1 hunk ignored
dpkg-source: error: LC_ALL=C patch -t -F 0 -N -p1 -u -V never -g0 -E -b -B .pc/fix-makefile.patch/ < SAINT_v2.3.3.orig.8T3hfI/debian/patches/fix-makefile.patch gave error exit status 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-source -b SAINT_v2.3.3 gave error exit status 2
debuild: fatal error at line 1350:

I can confirm that a simple
quilt push
is able to find the file to patch. Moreover if I do *repack* the source
tarball and simply remove the __MACOSX directory everything is fine and
the package builds nicely. The question is: Is this a quilt bug (which
I could not really think about because quilt itself runs fine) or what
might be the problem. Repackaging would not be a real problem but I
would like to understand the issue to possibly be able to detect a bug.
Kind regards
Andreas.
