I get the same error when I try it on fuse. I am not an expert on
dpkg-source but it looks like a bug to me.

Your example works for me too. But you are using a native package, so
there is no original archive in the parent directory that dpkg-source
would have to access. May be you could try another package, e.g. fuse,
which is not a native package?

malte@ubuntu64_vb:~/x2$ dpkg-source -b ../x1/fuse-2.9.4/
pkg-source: info: using options from
../x1/fuse-2.9.4/debian/source/options: --compression=xz

There only has to be a minor tweak and it would/could make a difference.  If 
you do not acknowledge this possibility, why tell us which version you are 
using??

Sorry for the confusion. I just used SRCDIR as a placeholder for the
real directory name in my example. And I should have written SRCDIR
(instead of $SRCDIR) in the second part to make that clear.

True. But I don't think there should be a difference in the
implementation of dpkg-source

Is the $SRCDIR variable set to anything? What is the output of

echo $SRCDIR

> Im using dpkg-source from dpkg-dev 1.18.4ubuntu1.1 in Ubuntu 16.04.

As explained in the FAQ
(https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-choosing.en.html#s3.2),
Ubuntu is based on Debian but not Debian. If you are running Ubutnu,
it is better to ask on Ubuntu list than here.

Problem with dpkg-source -b outside current working dir

[Malte Forkel]

Hi,

according to the man page, dpkg-source -b takes an argument that is "the
 name  of the directory containing the debianized source tree". But that
does not work for me if the directory is not the current working directory.

When is execute dpkg-source in the package's source directory, i.e.
   SRCDIR$ dpkg-source -b .
everything works fine. But if I execute dpkg-source from a different
directory with the absolute path as its argument
   /tmp$ dpkg-source -b $SRCDIR
it complains that can't find the original tarball at
../pkg_vers.orig.tar.*. Shouldn't it look into $SRCDIR/..?

Im using dpkg-source from dpkg-dev 1.18.4ubuntu1.1 in Ubuntu 16.04.

Thanks, Malte
