Source: firefox
Severity: serious
Tags: patch ftbfs
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
I'm trying to build Firefox 113 from the git repository. I have pulled
the package with:
debcheckout firefox
Then tried to download the latest tarballs with:
uscan --download-current
This crashes with a Python exception:
anarcat@angela:firefox$ uscan --download-current
Newest version of firefox on remote site is 113.0, specified download version
is 113.0
uscan warn: Possible OpenPGP signature found at:
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/113.0/source/firefox-113.0.source.tar.xz.asc
* Add opts=pgpsigurlmangle=s/$/.asc/ or opts=pgpmode=auto to debian/watch
* Add debian/upstream/signing-key.asc.
See uscan(1) for more details

I believe the following patch fixes the issue somehow:
