Package: dpatch Version: 2.0.13 Severity: normal -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Ok, I try to explain the situation: Let's say, we are working in the source tree of a Debian package and ran build target, so the patch/patch-stamp target was called. The source is now patched. Now you maybe see a mistake and you want to edit an existing patch. Running dpatch-edit-patch, modifying and saving the patch now leads to the following situation: The patch is modified in debian/patches, but the old patch is still applied to the source, because the clean target (unpatch target) is applied to the directoty in /tmp, not to the real source. Trying to call the unpatch target (e.g. with the clean target) now fails, because the patch cannot be reverted. The only chance to run unpatch target is to apply manually the changes made during the last patch-change to the source too, fix debian/patched and then try to call unpatch target again. Maybe dpatch-edit-patch should check for the existence of debian/patched inside the source and apply the unpatch target to the source if debian/patched is found. BTW: Maybe this bug is also related to bug #290820.
