Package: dpkg
Version: 1.23.11
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I am attempting to create a `dpkg-buildpackage` gitlab pipeline which creates
a .deb from the git source tree. This works in an Ubuntu 24.04 derived
container but fails when the container is from Ubuntu 26.04 or Debian Sid.
The pipeline command is: `dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc`
The last lines of the build log:
dpkg-deb: building package 'python3-example' in
'../python3-example_0.0.0_all.deb'.
dpkg-genbuildinfo -O../example_0.0.0_amd64.buildinfo
dpkg-genchanges -O../example_0.0.0_amd64.changes
dpkg-genchanges: error: cannot fstat file ../example_0.0.0.git: No such file or
directory
dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-genchanges -O../example_0.0.0_amd64.changes
subprocess failed with exit status 255
The example_0.0.0.git file exists in the git root path and not the parent
directory.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I tried to patch the Git.pm perl code from the 24.04 container to 26.04 but
that did not help. The git history showed some changes for `chdir` in that
file but they appeared to relate to logging rather than functionality.
