Public bug reported: I have called from terminal:
:~/Downloads$ backportpackage -b -s raring -d quantal -w . concavity_0.1-2.dsc As can be seen the actual directory is /home/user/Downloads/ The concavity_0.1-2.dsc file from Raring is stored there. ---------------- After this the following stacktrace occures: :~/Downloads$ backportpackage -b -s raring -d quantal -w . concavity_0.1-2.dsc backportpackage: Downloading concavity_0.1.orig.tar.xz from None (0.307 MiB) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/backportpackage", line 399, in <module> sys.exit(main(sys.argv)) File "/usr/bin/backportpackage", line 377, in main pkg.pull() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntutools/archive.py", line 362, in pull if self._download_file(url, name): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntutools/archive.py", line 322, in _download_file in_ = open(parsed.path, 'r') IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/home/user/Downloads/concavity_0.1.orig.tar.xz' -------------- This is one of my first experiments with the backportpackage script. So, may be it is a case of user misbehaviour. ------------- Steps to reproduce: 1. Downlaod http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/concavity/concavity_0.1-2.dsc into your download folder 2. Call a terminal 3. Use the command cd Downloads 4. Use the command backportpackage -b -s raring -d quantal -w . concavity_0.1-2.dsc 5.See the crash --------------- Additional: The are two points I want to bring attention on: backportpackage is a bit unhappy(with other command) if a package resides in Universe and not in main security restricted proposed. This may be one cause. The second is a special in the .dsc file: concavity_0.1.orig.tar.xz from None (0.307 MiB) the number 0.1 for concavity is obfuscating me a little bit. The version number is more 0.1-2. Just this two hints. May be it is one of them(I just digging a bit).
