Package: dpkg
Version: 1.19.6
Severity: minor
I tried to build a package with \n in filenames, but to no avail:
dpkg-deb --nocheck --build debian/newline ../newline_1_all.deb
dpkg-deb: warning: not checking contents of control area
dpkg-deb: building an unknown package in '../newline_1_all.deb'.
dpkg-deb: error: newline not allowed in pathname './usr/share/newline/
'
The man page promises that with the --nocheck option, "you can build any
archive you want, no matter how broken", so I expected this to work.
The source package that I used for testing is here:
https://github.com/jwilk/newline.deb
