Hi, Timo, What v5 watch file are you using? Using simple --- 8< --- Version: 5 Source: https://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/lib/ Matching-Pattern: libX11-(.*)\.tar\.gz Pgp-Sig-Url-Mangle: s/$/.sig/ --- <8 --- works here. Using Matching-Pattern is expected unless there is a template for a given repo and I think using @PACKAGE@ instead of actual package name will only work if there is no case mismatch between Debian and upstream names. -- Agustin
