Package: dpkg File: /usr/share/perl5/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3/Quilt.pm Version: 1.19.0.5 Severity: minor
Dear maintainer,
Dpkg::Source::Package::V3::Quilt unconditionally tries to chmod patches
without checking whether the permissions it would set are already set on
the patch:
chmod(0666 & ~ umask(), $patch)
or syserr(g_("unable to change permission of '%s'"), $patch);
In my setup I sometimes want to build source packages from trees that
are not owned by the user calling dpkg-source, so the chmod call fails.
It would be nice if dpkg would check whether the chmod would do
anything, and not try to call it if it would not.
Thanks!
