every bug that it tries to download sees the same kind of error. looking at http://bugs.debian.org/678613, the first concrete message is msg=5. when i try to fetch it myself, i get a zero-length file: 0 dkg@alice:~$ wget -q -S -O- 'http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=4;mbox=yes;bug=678613' HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 05 Jan 2016 17:53:05 GMT Server: Apache Content-disposition: attachment; filename="bug_678613_message_4.mbox" Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=15552000 Last-Modified: Fri, 27 Jun 2014 19:51:09 GMT X-Clacks-Overhead: GNU Terry Pratchett Content-Length: 0 Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100 Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: message/rfc822 0 dkg@alice:~$ Both --cache-mode=mbox and --cache-mode=min work fine, afaict. Sorry to not have more pointers about what's going wrong here. Maybe something changed in some perl module about "success" or "failure" when the file fetched has 0 length? --dkg -- Package-specific info: --- /etc/devscripts.conf --- --- ~/.devscripts --- Not present -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii dpkg-dev 1.18.4 ii libc6 2.21-6 ii perl 5.22.1-3 pn python3:any <none> Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii apt 1.1.10 ii at 3.1.18-2 ii curl 7.46.0-1 ii dctrl-tools 2.24-1 ii debian-keyring 2015.11.30 ii dput-ng [dput] 1.10 ii dupload 2.7.0 pn equivs <none> ii fakeroot 1.20.2-1 ii file 1:5.25-2 ii gnupg 1.4.20-1 ii gnupg2 2.1.10-3 ii libdistro-info-perl 0.14 ii libencode-locale-perl 1.05-1 ii libjson-perl 2.90-1 ii liblwp-protocol-https-perl 6.06-2 pn libsoap-lite-perl <none> ii liburi-perl 1.69-1 ii libwww-perl 6.15-1 ii lintian 2.5.39.1 ii man-db 2.7.5-1 ii patch 2.7.5-1 ii patchutils 0.3.4-1 ii python3-debian 0.1.27 ii python3-magic 1:5.25-2 ii sensible-utils 0.0.9 ii strace 4.10-3 ii unzip 6.0-20 ii wdiff 1.2.2-1+b1 ii wget 1.17.1-1 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2.1 Versions of packages devscripts suggests: ii build-essential 11.7 pn cvs-buildpackage <none> ii debbindiff 44 ii devscripts-el 35.12 pn gnuplot <none> ii gpgv 1.4.20-1 ii gpgv2 2.1.10-3 pn libauthen-sasl-perl <none> pn libfile-desktopentry-perl <none> ii libnet-smtp-ssl-perl 1.03-1 pn libterm-size-perl <none> ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 pn libyaml-syck-perl <none> ii mailutils [mailx] 1:2.99.98-2+b1 ii mozilla-devscripts 0.42 pn mutt <none> ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:7.1p1-5 ii s-nail [mailx] 14.8.5-4 ii svn-buildpackage 0.8.5+nmu1 ii w3m 0.5.3-26 -- debconf-show failed
