Package: devscripts
Version: 2.23.7
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
While reporting a bug against cglm, I tried build-rdeps but got this message...
$ build-rdeps cglm
Reverse Build-depends in experimental/main:
-------------------------------------------
Use of uninitialized value $source_file in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/bin/build-rdeps line 341.
Fatal error in module dose_common.input:
Input file does not exist.
No reverse build-depends found for cglm.
So it seems to me that build-rdeps is not working anymore...
Cheers

This is no longer happening, so I am closing this bug report. Seems it
was fixed in devscripts 2.24.1 by commit b3744325 (committed before
this bug report was filed, but merged way later).
Thanks for reporting.
