Hi all, I have done a pretty exaustive search online for similar problems. I also trawled through the Debian Mailing lists for this and couldn't find a solution.
BEGIN PROBLEM >>>>>>>>> Upstream lives here - https://github.com/sanger-pathogens/Fastaq Package lives here - https://alioth.debian.org/anonscm/git/debian-med/fastaq.git/ uscan has no problem downloading the upstream source if the watch file looks like this: version=3 https://github.com/sanger-pathogens/Fastaq/tags \ /sanger-pathogens/Fastaq/archive/([.\d]+)\.tar\.gz Notice the uppercase F in Fastaq. Running uscan --verbose --force-download I get js21@builder:~/deb_alioth/current/fastaq_packaging/fastaq$ uscan --verbose --force-download -- Scanning for watchfiles in . -- Found watchfile in ./debian -- In debian/watch, processing watchfile line: https://github.com/sanger-pathogens/Fastaq/tags /sanger-pathogens/Fastaq/archive/([.\d]+)\.tar\.gz -- Found the following matching hrefs: /sanger-pathogens/Fastaq/archive/1.5.0.tar.gz /sanger-pathogens/Fastaq/archive/1.1.0.tar.gz Newest version on remote site is 1.5.0, local version is 1.5.0 => Package is up to date Newest version on remote site is 1.5.0, local version is 1.5.0 => Forcing download as requested -- Downloading updated package 1.5.0.tar.gz -- Successfully downloaded updated package 1.5.0.tar.gz and symlinked Fastaq_1.5.0.orig.tar.gz to it -- Scan finished The source is downloaded. All good there.

I also tried differenl iterations of the filenamemangle regex: opts=filenamemangle=s/F/f/ \ and opts=filenamemangle=s/(.*)F(.*)/$1f$2/ And others... But I still get the same error. <<<<<<<<< END PROBLEM Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this issue? Regards, Jorge
