Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.18.2 Severity: normal base I’m actually using the homebrew dpkg-scanpackages on OS X. I found that dpkg adds an extra / to file paths when using anything other than the current directory. The Homebrew folk suggested I file an upstream bug: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/44053#issuecomment-140935850
eg: dpkg-scanpackages binary binary/override | gzip -9c > binary/Packages.gz yields: Filename: binary//pkgname_3.49.0-SNAPSHOT-1_all.deb There’s a similar bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=122255
