Package: quilt
Version: 0.48-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Can someone please explain me why in a cowbuilder:
$ pwd
/tmp/texlive-doc-2009~svn15596
$ ls debian/patches
ls: cannot access debian/patches: No such file or directory
$ QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches quilt --quiltrc /dev/null push -a
Applying patch 12_fix_epstopdf_invocation
can't find file to patch at input line 15
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|#! /bin/sh /usr/share/dpatch/dpatch-run
|## 12_fix_epstopdf_invocation.dpatch <[email protected]>
....
I not even KNOW where quilt gots this patch from?!?!
I mean I have this patch in a completely unrelated directory, outside
the chroot.
So why on earth does quilt use that patch??

So that's it:
#
# If the working directory does not contain a $QUILT_PATCHES directory,
# quilt searches for its base directory up the directory tree. If no
# $QUILT_PATCHES directory exists, the quilt operations that create
# patches will create $QUILT_PATCHES in the current working directory.
#
# When quilt is invoked from a directory below the base directory, it
# changes into the base directory, and sets $SUBDIR to the relative
# path from the base directory to the directory in which it was
# invoked. (e.g., if quilt is invoked in /usr/src/linux/drivers/net
# and the base direcory is /usr/src/linux, $SUBDIR is set to
# drivers/net/.
#
It's not a bug, it's a feature. Closing the bug.
This is from /usr/share/quilt/scripts/patchfns (at the end).
