Hi! When working on some newlib patches, ran into this:
peda@pulkan ~/newlib/src/newlib $ quilt refresh /usr/share/quilt/refresh: line 253: /usr/share/quilt/scripts/remove-trailing-ws: Permission denied Patch patches/wordexp-avoid-strdup.patch is unchanged peda@pulkan ~/newlib/src/newlib $ ls -lG /usr/share/quilt/scripts total 68 -rwxr-xr-x 1 peda 6219 May 24 2011 backup-files -rw-r--r-- 1 peda 13114 May 24 2011 dependency-graph -rw-r-xr-x 1 peda 5910 May 24 2011 edmail -rwxr-xr-x 1 peda 4642 May 24 2011 inspect -rw-r--r-- 1 peda 3397 May 24 2011 parse-patch -rw-r--r-- 1 peda 18389 May 24 2011 patchfns -rw-r--r-- 1 peda 3491 May 24 2011 remove-trailing-ws All those files are scripts with shebangs, and I assume they should all be chmod +x, and indeed that fixes the "quilt refresh" problem (and a similar problem in "quilt mail" when it tries to execute edmail). Please fix the packaging bug.
