Subject: dpkg: dpkg-source cannot unpack source

Date: Fri, 23 May 1997 21:44:09 +0200

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.17

I cannot unpack a source archive that was just created by dpkg-buildpackage:

feivel:test 148) dpkg-source -x ~/todo/ibcs_970513-2.dsc
dpkg-source: extracting ibcs in ibcs-970513
patch: **** .dpkg-orig is not a regular file--can't patch
dpkg-source: failure: patch gave error exit status 2

	Does it still happen with latest versions of dpkg-dev and
patch?

	Thanks.

	I think this bug report can be closed.

Subject: retitling fixed bugs

Date: Mon, 13 Jul 1998 22:58:30 +0200

retitle 10072 FIXED in NMU [was: dpkg: dpkg-source cannot unpack source]
retitle 12617 FIXED in NUM [was: dpkg: unchecked prompting in postinst]
retitle 13598 FIXED in NMU [was: dpkg-ftp should depend on `awk']
retitle 13892 FIXED in NMU [was: dpkg: should depend on awk]
retitle 14696 FIXED in NMU [was: Typo? in Debian packaging manual]
retitle 16091 FIXED in NMU [was: dpkg: dselect won't read Packages from sunsite]
retitle 16527 FIXED in NMU [was: link shared libs against other shared libs]
retitle 17732 FIXED in NMU [was: dpkg suddnely has problems unpacking many .debs]
stop

	Some of these bugs haven't really been fixed by a NMU: some of
them are not bugs, some have been fixed by an official release and
some have been fixed by other packages.  However, I think it's easier
to use the same title on all of them.

Comments:
10072 was fixed a lot of time ago
12617 is not a bug (the submitter agrees on this)
13598 and 13892 have already been fixed by base-files_1.7
16091 was probably a bug in sunsite's mirror; it's not a bug in dpkg
17732 was the "chown/lchown" bug in kernel 2.1.8x
