Package: libdpkg-perl

Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

While trying to build a new debian package, I'm using a quilt patch that
removes a file from the upstream original files. 

debuild -us -uc -S fails with

[...]
dpkg-genchanges: including full source code in upload
 dpkg-source --after-build r-cran-gbm_2.1-1
Argument "r-cran-gbm_2.1-1/LICENSE" isn't numeric in chmod at 
/usr/share/perl5/Dpkg/Source/Quilt.pm line 296.
dpkg-source: error: unable to change permission of `r-cran-gbm_2.1-1/LICENSE': 
No such file or directory
dpkg-source: info: unapplying remove-extra-license-file.patch
dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-source --after-build r-cran-gbm_2.1-1 gave error 
exit status 2
debuild: fatal error at line 1357:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -d -us -uc -S failed


This error is triggered because the chmod call at 
/usr/share/perl5/Dpkg/Source/Quilt.pm:296 
has its arguments swapped. 

Attached to this bug report you will find a patch against the developpement 
version of 
libdpkg-perl at git://git.debian.org/git/dpkg/dpkg.git which fixes this problem.

Kind Regards,

Pablo Oliveira.

Subject: [PATCH] Quilt.pm: fix argument order of chmod call

In function restore_quilt_backup_files, the arguments of the
chmod call were swapped. This prevented restoring quilt patches
which delete files.
