Hi All,

I recently had to reinstall Debian on my machine and had to do a dist-upgrade 
from slink. After that, dch and dpkg-source does not work. 

dch:

I did a perl -d dch and found that the following is the problem:
1. Create changelog.dch
2. sensible-editor changelog.dch

The sensible-editor (vi) returns a non-zero return code. dch fatals out with 
illegal seek or no such file/directory. Funny thing is, changelog.dch exists 
before calling the vi, but disappers after the fatal. 

dpkg-source:

Works fine if it is the first time. The second time you run it, it considers 
the entire directory structure deleted. The error message is unrepresentable 
changes to the source. However, a diff shows only a couple of changes to 
debian/rules.

I am wondering if my file handling routines from perl are screwed ?

Any ideas to fix these are welcome.

Regards,
Vaidhy
