KiBi kindly walked this problem with me on private IRC. If you want to
play with the package that triggered the problem, feel free to grab it
at people.debian.org:/home/gwolf/prawn
It seems the problem is reproducible on all Lenny hosts - And it is
quite likely to be a proper bug, as the file is for some reason
recognized as a v2.0 source package.
My previous (accepted) upload was done on 2009-11-25, and dpkg-dev
dies the same way when trying to unpack that version (so it would not
enter the archive today). Now, ten days after my upload (2009-12-05),
dpkg 1.14.27 was accepted in Stable. This upload was specifically
meant to iron out v3.0 details:
* Cherry-pick some fixes from squeeze concerning new source formats:
- dpkg-source now accepts additional tarballs (in format "3.0 (quilt)")
with a "component" name containing dashes. Closes: #524376
(...)
My package falls squarely in #524376 - And in fact, renaming the
tarball from libprawn-ruby_0.7.1+dfsg.orig-pdf-inspector.tar.gz to
libprawn-ruby_0.7.1+dfsg.orig-pdfinspector.tar.gz (removing the dash
from the component name) makes it work in Lenny.
Anyway, I will do the rename and re-upload, but this is mainly to let
you know #524376 is still alive in Lenny, and 1.14.27 quite probably
introduced the regression.
