To know more about this, we'll need to see what ‘dput’ configuration
is effective when you run that command.

Can you attach the effective ‘dput’ configuration to this bug report?
Just get the output from the command ‘dput --print’, and attach it in
a reply to this bug report.

Which version of ‘trickle’ are you using?

Can you try using ‘strace’ to track both – a version which works as
you expect, and a version which does not – with ‘trickle’ and without?

That is, please give the output from the following:

* Install ‘dput’ at a version that behaves as you expect.

* Get the ‘strace’ session of a normal upload::

      $ outfile="dput-$(dput --version | cut --delimiter=' ' --fields=2)".strace
      $ strace dput foo.changes > "$outfile"

* Get the ‘strace’ session of an upload within ‘trickle’::

      $ outfile="dput-$(dput --version | cut --delimiter=' ' 
--fields=2)".trickle.strace
      $ strace trickle -s -u 10 dput foo.changes > "$outfile"

* Install ‘dput’ at the latest version in Debian (“1.0.1”).

* Get the ‘strace’ session of a normal upload::

      $ outfile="dput-$(dput --version | cut --delimiter=' ' --fields=2)".strace
      $ strace dput foo.changes > "$outfile"

* Get the ‘strace’ session of an upload within ‘trickle’::

      $ outfile="dput-$(dput --version | cut --delimiter=' ' 
--fields=2)".trickle.strace
      $ strace trickle -s -u 10 dput foo.changes > "$outfile"

* Attach each of those four output files ‘dput-*.strace’ to this bug
  report.

This will allow comparison of what OS calls are being made, for each
of the two interacting variables (differing version of ‘dput’, and
whether ‘trickle’ is used).
