OK, so it seems I misunderstood all this. Oops. So, for those people who will inevitably stumble upon this bug like I did:
It looks like tar changed, which caused that Debian dpkg bug, which was then fixed. But Python sets a custom SIGPIPE hander, which breaks the fix when calling dpkg-source using subprocess. See http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~cjwatson/blosxom/2009-07-02 -python-sigpipe.html for details of how to work around that. -- unpacking the upstream tarball not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/399938 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
