In that case then, I'm reassigning to emacs, because it would seem like the editor might be mangling the patch. And not going to change dpkg-source to accept such patches because they are bogus and they would not be accepted by older dpkg-source versions anyway. In addition I just noticed you already filed this exact same report some months ago, which was closed as wontfix. thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-dpkg-bugs-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
