Public bug reported: This is the same bug reported in the Debian Bug report logs, #809219, against dpkg-dev 1.18.4:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=809219 It can be reproduced using the same x.tgz file found in the original Debian #809219 bug report. I have attached it here for reference. To reproduce: $ tar xfz x.tgz $ dpkg-scanpackages . The expected result is no error. The actual result is a failure with the following output emitted: /tmp/x/dists/sid/wtf/binary-all encountered a second time at /usr/share/perl/5.22/File/Find.pm line 103.
