Package: pristine-tar
Version: 1.39
Severity: minor
pristine-tar fails when the target it want's to reproduce is a symlink
that points nowhere. That by itself is o.k. but the error message is
confusing:
$ /usr/bin/pristine-tar checkout
/var/scratch/src/krb5-auth-dialog/krb5-auth-dialog_3.20.0.orig.tar.xz
Use of uninitialized value $tarball in -e at /usr/bin/pristine-tar line 454.
Use of uninitialized value $_[0] in substitution (s///) at
/usr/share/perl/5.24/File/Basename.pm line 180.
fileparse(): need a valid pathname at /usr/bin/pristine-tar line 469.
pristine-tar: failed to generate tarball
Steps to reproduce:
ln -s /doesnotexist krb5-auth-dialog_3.20.0.orig.tar.xz
gbp clone vcsgit:krb5-auth-dialog
/usr/bin/pristine-tar checkout
/var/scratch/src/krb5-auth-dialog/krb5-auth-dialog_3.20.0.orig.tar.xz
