Package: devscripts Version: 2.26.5 Severity: important In attempting to get rcs-blame to build on salsa, I found that uscan's behavior for versionmangle is broken (I'm unable to work around this in any other way than this bug report). The reason for this is an incorrect parameter passed to the "grep" command in
/usr/share/perl5/Devscripts/Uscan/Modes/_xtp.pm
This is an untyped reference, which used to be a hash, but became an array
in the upgrade. But that doesn't work with the grep command, and since the
failure is silent, unnoticed.
Rather than use the untyped reference, the script already has a validated
variable with the proper contents. With this change, the script works with
both version 4 and version 5 watch files:

if (@vfiles) {

This isn't the same issue as reported in #1122181.
