Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools
I ran `syncpackage -v` to see what would happen, with the following results: $ syncpackage -v Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/syncpackage", line 409, in <module> default = os.environ["DEBFULLNAME"]) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/UserDict.py", line 22, in __getitem__ raise KeyError(key) KeyError: 'DEBFULLNAME' To me it appears that it fails looking for the DEBFULLNAME environment variable. In the many years I've been working with Debian format packages, I believe I've never set this (I tend to use DEBEMAIL="name name <em...@domain>" which works just fine). I suspect that firstly, syncpackage shouldn't rely on this being present (as none of the standard development tools require it), and secondly that if it's absent, it shouldn't crash (programs should never crash: if something doesn't work, tell the user *why* without making them interpret the traceback).
