I've now completed the extraction of all releases on archive.d.o and updated the content of the above URL. There is probably no need for you to check again, though, only one extra package from Lenny has been added, and it's again cnews (in a newer version), which cannot be extract due to the "version number does not start with digit" error. > > dpkg-source: error: version number does not start with digit > Hmm, yeah this type of sanity check should not really be applied on > extractors, at least w/o a way to override. I'm fixing this for dpkg > 1.17.7. Thanks. If the patch is available somewhere, I'll be happy to cherry pick it for sources.d.n (which is running on Wheezy, i.e. dpkg 1.16.12) and give it a try. > > - patches not applying cleanly, e.g.: > > > > dpkg-source: error: LC_ALL=C patch -t -F 0 -N -p1 -u -V never -g0 -b -z > > .dpkg-orig < ./rx_1.5-6.diff.gz gave error exit status 1 > > can't find file to patch at input line 3 > > I'm checking when this regressed. Great. FWIW I'm not entirely sure that this, and the subsequent one, are actually regression at the dpkg-source level. It might also be the case that we did release sources that weren't extractable at release time. > If this is due to a change in gzip, then that's something to be dealt > in gzip.
