Subject: dpkg: /^libg++272-2.7.2.5.orig/: nested *?+ in regexp at /usr/bin/dpkg-source line

Date: Fri, 4 Jul 1997 18:17:30 +0200 (CEST)

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.17

This is killing me. I cannot build libg++272 any more, and I'm getting
tons of bugreports against other packages that are actually bugs in libg++272.


Full output of dpkg:

rulcmc:~/maintain/libg++/libg++272-2.7.2.5$ dpkg-buildpackage -rsudo
dpkg-buildpackage: source package is libg++272
dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 2.7.2.5-2
dpkg-buildpackage: source version is joost witteveen <joost@rulcmc.leidenuniv.nl>
dpkg-buildpackage: build architecture is i386
 sudo debian/rules clean
make clean
[.. clean stuff removed ..]
 dpkg-source -b libg++272-2.7.2.5
dpkg-source: building libg++272 using existing libg++272_2.7.2.5.orig.tar.gz
/^libg++272-2.7.2.5.orig/: nested *?+ in regexp at /usr/bin/dpkg-source line 771.



This also happens when I do "dpkg-source -x (version in incoming).dsc":

$ dpkg-source -x ../libg++272_2.7.2.5-1.dsc
/^libg++272-2.7.2.5.orig/: nested *?+ in regexp at /usr/bin/dpkg-source line 771.


So, I'll just start doing the "./debian/rules build; ./debian/rules binary"
song again, and upload just the .deb to master.

Hey! I ran into the same problem today, as I upgraded from bo to latest
unstable. It is the new perl 5.004 which treats some regexps differently
than before.

I think the problem is simple: if you try to match /^libg++272-2..../ you
would have to escape this plus signs! The double plus (++) does surely
make not much sence as regular expression. I think this is the problem.

As a you solution you might want to try downgrading perl again.


Hope this helps,

Chris

What's your perl version? I've now downgraded to:

I have the same problem with your package (libg++272_2.7.2.5-1).

On my server running "bo", using

ii  perl            5.003.07-10    Larry Wall's Practical Extracting and
Report
ii  perl-tk         b11.02-5       Perl module providing the Tk graphics
librar

it works without problems.

Hmm. 


Thanks,

Chris

So, it isn't just the perl or perl-tk versions, cause as you can see, I'm using
excactly those perl versions. It must be some other package, that does not
match "bo/binary-i386/*/{perl,sed,bash}*", cause I downgraded all of those
packages to bo now, and I still get the error). What other package could
that be, then?

Ah well, I just found it's dpkg from unstable that does this. dpkg
from bo is fine (I'm sure I already tried downgrading dpkg, but apparently
I forgot some dpkg components then).

Thanks for helping me at least be able to make a full libg++272 release,
and hopefully helping Klee find the error in dpkg-source.


(from the diff -u dpkg-source_1.4.0.8 dpkg-source_1.4.0.17, note that
the first line that differs here in the patch is that line 771. Now to
anybody who speaks perl it shouldnt be very hard to fix this, should it?)

	I think this bug is fixed.  Can you confirm it, so that it can
be closed?  Thanks.
