Package: dgit-infrastructure

Severity: important
Debian tag2upload service writes ("[tag2upload 5564] irrecoverable
libhttp-cookies-perl 6.12-1"):

1. This error message should say what *other* first directory parts it
saw.
2. In this case the tarfile listing looks like this:
drwxr-xr-x olaf/olaf 0 2026-07-26 03:34 HTTP-Cookies-6.12
-rw-r--r-- olaf/olaf 19640 2026-07-26 03:34 HTTP-Cookies-6.12/LICENSE
-rw-r--r-- olaf/olaf 2411 2026-07-26 03:34 HTTP-Cookies-6.12/INSTALL
...
So I think the tag2upload service has a bug here.
Ian.
