Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.9.38
I am trying to update the yosys package to a new upstream version,
following the instructions in debian/README.source in the source code,
ie by running:
gbp import-orig --component=abc --uscan
When I then try to run gbp buildpackage, I get an error similar to this
(this is for the current 0.64 version, I get a similar error after
importing 0.65):
gbp:info: Creating /home/pere/src/fpga/yosys_0.64.orig.tar.gz
gbp:error: Error creating yosys_0.64.orig.tar.gz: Pristine-tar
couldn't checkout "yosys_0.64.orig.tar.gz": fatal: ambiguous argument
'e7c1bc2e358704e5670443fb49ee9cd62ae12bfe^{tree}': unknown revision or
path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
fatal: not a valid object name:

tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

e7c1bc2e358704e5670443fb49ee9cd62ae12bfe\^\{tree\} | (cd
'/tmp/pristine-tar.iJeBWZzuII' && tar x)
This break the CI build of yosys on salsa, which fail the same way.
The error look similar to the archived issues reported in
<URL: https://bugs-devel.debian.org/977083 > and
<URL: https://bugs-devel.debian.org/917789 >, but I am unable to figure
out from reading these BTS reports how to work around the problem and
get 'gbp buildpackage' working.
I've also tried 'gbp export-orig --component=abc', which fail like this:
gbp:error: Couldn't find upstream tree 'upstream/0.64^{tree}' to
create orig tarball via pristine-tar
Any clues to spare?
