Package: emacs24
Version: 24.4+1
Severity: minor
I am trying to build the Debian package of emacs24-24.4+1-5 on an
Ubuntu Trusty system. I realize this is unsupported, but I have
encountered a confusing bug. The build log shows this:

What's happening is, the patch-to-news script is getting just the
filename of each patch, not "debian/patches/filename.patch".
Now, there are entries in both the Ubuntu and Debian changelogs for
emacs24 packages that mention the bug being fixed (in different
versions), and it appears that the debian/rules file was edited to
change the argument to "debian/patches/$$p". However, my download of
emacs24_24.4+1-5 from Debian does not have the corrected rules script,
so the build fails on my system.
In the process of investigating this, I found on Google a git repo
that fixes the patch-to-news script itself:
http://git.willhughes.name/emacs/commit/37eb31c8134e099a209f497512e7de8772b47105/
I don't know why the build works for Debian but doesn't work here. Is
there a difference in quilt that causes the relative path to be
printed instead of just the filename? Anyway, maybe it would be good
to consider patching patch-to-news itself. It's a shame that the only
reason the build failed on my system is due to this little problem.
Thanks.
