Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.5.26
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
I tried to import a tarball with git-import-orig but it fails with a
uninformative error :
$ git import-orig --pristine-tar ../rss2email_2.71.orig.tar.gz
What is the upstream version? [2.71]
gbp:info: Importing '../rss2email_2.71.orig.tar.gz' to branch 'upstream'...
gbp:info: Source package is rss2email
gbp:info: Upstream version is 2.71
fatal: Could not switch to '../tmpdCS4lT/rss2email-2.71': Permission denied
gbp:error: git returned 128
gbp:error: Couldn't add files
gbp:error: Import of ../rss2email_2.71.orig.tar.gz failed
rm: cannot remove `../tmpdCS4lT/rss2email-2.71': Permission denied
gbp:error: rm returned 1
gbp:error: Couldn't remove "../tmpdCS4lT"
gbp:error: Removal of tmptree ../tmpdCS4lT failed.
The problem is that the permissions inside the tarball do not allow to cd into
the directory.
$ tar tzvf ../rss2email_2.71.orig.tar.gz

The tarball is a bit buggy (and I noticed upstream about it) but I
suggest that git-import-orig could either accept it (chmod()ing the
files before) or reject it with a clearer error message.
Thanks for maintaining this package !
