Subject: dpkg-source bug?

Date: Sun, 13 Jul 1997 17:58:23 +0200 (CEST)

I get this error message when I try to unpack my source packages:

$ dpkg-source -x /ftp/pub/mirror/debian/non-free/source/dvi2tty_5.1-7.dsc
dpkg-source: extracting dvi2tty in dvi2tty-5.1
patch: **** .dpkg-orig is not a regular file--can't patch
dpkg-source: failure: patch gave error exit status 2
$ 

Does someone have a hint for me? 

There were lots of bug reports against dpkg-source so I don't want to
report yet another bug unless this is a new one.


Thanks,

Chris

Oops! Sorry, I wanted to send this to debian-devel, instead of the bug
tracking system. I'll assign it to dpkg-dev now.

I just tracked down the problem: patch's command line argument `-b' is now
called `-z'. Here is a patch:
