I have emailed the developer of the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide, Mendel Cooper. He agreed to return to having a direct href to the abs-guide on his site. However, the current version of the package does not have a debian/watch file that will correctly download this file:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Documents/Work/abs-guide/abs-guide-4.1$ uscan --verbose -- Scanning for watchfiles in . -- Found watchfile in ./debian -- In debian/watch, processing watchfile line: http://personal.riverusers.com/~thegrendel .*abs-guide-(.*)\.tar\..* debian uupdate -- Found the following matching hrefs: abs-guide-5.4.tar.bz2 abs-guide-5.4.tar.bz2 Newest version on remote site is 5.4, local version is 4.1 => Newer version available from http://personal.riverusers.com/abs-guide-5.4.tar.bz2 -- Downloading updated package abs-guide-5.4.tar.bz2 uscan warning: In directory ., downloading http://personal.riverusers.com/abs-guide-5.4.tar.bz2 failed: 404 Not Found -- Scan finished I have attached a patch that will fix this problem, along with stopping two other lintian errors.
