Bug#500685: dh-make-perl: Checks ./debian too late in the process

Can you explain the use case a bit better? Why are you running
dh-make-perl in an already debianized directory? Are you using
--refresh?
Good question, but in general I agree with the bug reporter that
there's not much sense in first running all the extract_* procedures
and then 'die' anyway.
Cheers,

It was simply a mistake :-) I wasn't trying to do anything special, just forgot to remove the old hand-written ./debian before running dh-make-perl to reset everything from scratch. I wasn't looking for refresh behaviour, rather replace/restart. Cheers, Mark. -- Mark Lawrence -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Heh, that would have been my guess :)
(Been there, done that, too.)
I'm committing a small change to our SVN repository that moves up the
check a bit.
Thanks for reporting this glitch!
