Package: devscripts Version: 2.15.3 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/dget Dear Maintainer,
dget does not seem to un-quote URL encodings in file: URLs. For example, %2B in a URL is a way to express the + character, but dget interprets that as the character sequence %, 2, and B. curl gets this right (wget doesn't handle file: URLs at all). Example: I have a file with a + in the filename, and if I create a file: URL and encode the + as %2B, and run curl, it works: $ curl -s file:///home/liw/code/ick/liw.state/obbench/builds/30/artifacts/obbench_0.11%2Bgit.0ci30-1.unstable_source.changes | wc -l 29 Getting the same file with dget doesn't work: $ dget -d file:///home/liw/code/ick/liw.state/obbench/builds/30/artifacts/obbench_0.11%2Bgit.0ci30-1.unstable_source.changes | wc -l cp: cannot stat ‘/home/liw/code/ick/liw.state/obbench/builds/30/artifacts/obbench_0.11%2Bgit.0ci30-1.unstable_source.changes’: No such file or directory dget: curl obbench_0.11%2Bgit.0ci30-1.unstable_source.changes file:///home/liw/code/ick/liw.state/obbench/builds/30/artifacts/obbench_0.11%2Bgit.0ci30-1.unstable_source.changes failed This seems to be because dget handles file: URLs itself, by hardlinking or copying the file, rather than using curl. I ran into this because I have a build automation that uses dget to fetch built packages and puts them in an APT repository, and uses file: URLs. I have worked around this dget behaviour by un-escaping the URL myself. -- Package-specific info: --- /etc/devscripts.conf --- --- ~/.devscripts --- DEBSIGN_KEYID=B8611E9C DSCVERIFY_KEYRINGS=/home/liw/.gnupg/pubring.gpg -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.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 1.17.26 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u2 ii perl 5.20.2-3+deb8u3 ii python3 3.4.2-2 pn python3:any <none> Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii at 3.1.16-1 ii curl 7.38.0-4+deb8u3 ii dctrl-tools 2.23 ii debian-keyring 2015.04.10 ii dput 0.9.6.4 ii equivs 2.0.9 ii fakeroot 1.20.2-1 ii file 1:5.22+15-2+deb8u1 ii gnupg 1.4.18-7 ii libdistro-info-perl 0.14 ii libencode-locale-perl 1.03-1 ii libjson-perl 2.61-1 ii liblwp-protocol-https-perl 6.06-2 ii libparse-debcontrol-perl 2.005-4 ii libsoap-lite-perl 1.11-1 ii liburi-perl 1.64-1 ii libwww-perl 6.08-1 ii lintian 2.5.30+deb8u4 ii man-db 2.7.0.2-5 ii patch 2.7.5-1 ii patchutils 0.3.3-1 ii python3-debian 0.1.27 ii python3-magic 1:5.22+15-2+deb8u1 ii sensible-utils 0.0.9 ii strace 4.9-2 ii unzip 6.0-16+deb8u2 ii wdiff 1.2.2-1 ii wget 1.16-1 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2+b3 Versions of packages devscripts suggests: ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20141216cvs-2 ii build-essential 11.7 pn cvs-buildpackage <none> pn debbindiff <none> pn devscripts-el <none> pn gnuplot <none> ii gpgv 1.4.18-7 ii libauthen-sasl-perl 2.1600-1 ii libfile-desktopentry-perl 0.07-1 ii libnet-smtp-ssl-perl 1.01-3 pn libterm-size-perl <none> ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 pn libyaml-syck-perl <none> ii mailutils [mailx] 1:2.99.98-2 ii mutt 1.5.23-3 ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:6.7p1-5+deb8u1 pn svn-buildpackage <none> ii w3m 0.5.3-19 -- no debconf information _______________________________________________ devscripts-devel mailing list devscripts-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devscripts-devel
