Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.13.25
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Problem Description
===================
When trying to create a source package from an upstream tarball, where the
debianization requires
patching of files with names containing spaces, the resulting diff.gz will be
incorrectly representing
such files. This results in an unusable source package, because 'dpkg-source
-x' uses the 'patch'
command to apply the diff to the extracted orig.tar.gz. Because patch does not
recognize the incorrectly
contained filenames, it does not restore the correct files.
Cause of the Problem
====================
To support file names with spaces, the 'diff' and 'patch' commands use a
trailing tab character (\t)
after the filenames. Dpkg-source uses a manual diff on all files, when creating
the diff.gz. In doing
doing this, it manually assigns labels to be used for the files inside the diff
(using the -L option),
this circumvents diff's own undocumented trailing tab-character behaviour,
causing the above described
problem.
Solution of the Problem
=======================
The attached patch solves the problem, by appending a tab character (\t) to the
labels that dpkg-source
assigns using the -L option.

Changes:

.
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Add back $dpkglib into @INC, needed by the controllib.pl require in
822-date. Closes: #440962
* Document in dpkg-scanpackages that apt now requires Packages.bz2 in
preference to Packages.gz. Closes: #440973
* Stop recognizing the obsolete Optional field when building packages.
* Use fakeroot, if present, by default to gain root privileges in
dpkg-buildpackage.
* Fix typos in dpkg-deb.1 and start-stop-daemon.8. Closes: #441051
Thanks to A. Costa.
* After '<prerm> remove' fails and while doing the error unwinding, if
the '<postinst> abort-remove' call succeeds, preserve the old status
instead of unconditionally setting it to 'Installed'. Closes: #432893
Thanks to Brian M. Carlson.
* Add Vcs-Browser and Vcs-Git fields to debian/control.
* Add a Homepage field to debian/control (to be changed later when
there's a more formal site).
* Allow comparing unsupported architectures for equality and identity.
Based on a patch by Frank Lichtenheld. Closes: #427210
* Document Origin and Bugs fields in deb-control.5. Closes: #173463
* Do not replace substvars for build dependencies (it was not supported
anyway).
.
[ Frank Lichtenheld ]
* Add _MTN to dpkg-source -i default regex. Suggested by Jari Aalto.
* Convert dpkg-buildpackage to a Perl script.
Fix some bugs in the new script detected in experimental:
Closes: #444362
* dpkg-buildpackage accepts a -j<n> option now which will set
MAKEFLAGS(-j<n>) and DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS(parallel=<n>) accordingly.
parallel=<n> in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS will be passed to MAKEFLAGS as
well. Based on an idea by Robert Millan. Closes: #440636
* Allow dpkg-source -I without a pattern which will load a default
list of pattern similar to -i without regexp. Patch by
Jari Aalto. Closes: #440972
* Rework documentation of dpkg-source's -i and -I options.
Closes: #323911, #440956
* Add --utf8-strings to gpg call in dpkg-buildpackage since
that seems to be the better default. Suggested by Székelyi Szabolcs.
Closes: #379418
* Let dpkg-buildpackage error out early if the version number from
the changelog is not a valid Debian version. Closes: #216075
* Fix dpkg-source to create correct diffs for files with spaces in
their name (apparantly we don't have many of those ;).
Based on a patch by Marcel Toele. Closes: #445380
