Package: devscripts Version: 2.25.19 Severity: normal With the introduction of version 5 watch files in commit e461cf203c1b, the expansion of @-expressions was moved from the watch file parser to a later stage of processing.
The version 1-4 parser was changed to recognise when part of a URL contains an @-expression that will expand to a parenthesised regexp and so needs to be split off as a file pattern, just as if it contained a parenthesised regexp directly. However, @PACKAGE@ is also treated this way and should not be. This broke handling of ethtool's watch file: version=4 opts="mode=git, pgpmode=gittag, dversionmangle=s/^1://" \ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/@PACKAGE@/@[email protected] \ refs/tags/v@ANY_VERSION@ Ben. -- Package-specific info: --- /etc/devscripts.conf --- Empty. --- ~/.devscripts --- DEBSIGN_KEYID=AC2B29BD34A6AFDDB3F68F35E7BFC8EC95861109 DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS='-uc -us' DEBDIFF_CONTROLFILES=ALL USCAN_VCS_EXPORT_UNCOMPRESSED=yes -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.12.38+deb13-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii dpkg-dev 1.22.21 ii file 1:5.46-5 ii gpg 2.4.8-2 ii gpg-agent 2.4.8-2 ii gpgv 2.4.8-2 ii libdpkg-perl 1.22.21 ii libfile-dirlist-perl 0.05-3 ii libfile-homedir-perl 1.006-2 ii libfile-touch-perl 0.12-2 ii libio-string-perl 1.08-4 ii libmoo-perl 2.005005-1 ii libwww-perl 6.78-1 ii patchutils 0.4.2-1 ii perl 5.40.1-6 ii python3 3.13.5-1 ii sensible-utils 0.0.25 ii wdiff 1.2.2-9 Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii apt 3.1.4 ii curl 8.15.0-1 ii dctrl-tools 2.24-3+b1 ii debian-keyring 2025.07.26 ii debian-tag2upload-keyring 1.1 ic dput 1.1.3 ii dput-ng [dput] 1.43 ii equivs 2.3.2 ii git-debpush 13.13 ii libdistro-info-perl 1.14 ii libencode-locale-perl 1.05-3 ii libgitlab-api-v4-perl 0.27-1 ii libjson-perl 4.10000-1 ii liblwp-protocol-https-perl 6.14-1 ii libmetacpan-client-perl 2.033000-1 ii libsoap-lite-perl 1.27-3 ii libstring-shellquote-perl 1.04-3 ii liburi-perl 5.30-1 ii licensecheck 3.3.9-1 ii lintian 2.122.0 ii lzip 1.25-3 ii man-db 2.13.1-1 ii patch 2.8-2 ii pristine-tar 1.50+nmu2 ii python3-apt 3.0.0 ii python3-debian 1.0.1 ii python3-magic 2:0.4.27-3 ii python3-requests 2.32.3+dfsg-5 ii python3-unidiff 0.7.5-2 ii python3-xdg 0.28-2 ii strace 6.16+ds-2 ii unzip 6.0-29 ii wget 1.25.0-2 ii xz-utils 5.8.1-1 Versions of packages devscripts suggests: pn adequate <none> ii at 3.2.5-2.2 ii autopkgtest 5.49 pn bls-standalone <none> ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20220412cvs-1.1 ii build-essential 12.12 pn check-all-the-things <none> ii debhelper 13.25 ii diffoscope 297 pn disorderfs <none> pn docker.io <none> pn dose-extra <none> pn duck <none> ii elpa-devscripts 40.7 ii faketime 0.9.10+2024-06-05+gba9ed5b2-0.6 pn gnuplot <none> pn how-can-i-help <none> ii libauthen-sasl-perl 2.1900-1 pn libdbd-pg-perl <none> ii libgitlab-api-v4-perl 0.27-1 ii libterm-size-perl 0.211-1+b5 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3300-2 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.903.0+ds-1 ii mailutils [mailx] 1:3.19-1 ii mmdebstrap 1.5.7-3 ii mutt 2.2.13-1 ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:10.0p1-8 pn piuparts <none> ii postgresql-client 17+281 ii postgresql-client-17 [postgresql-client] 17.6-1 pn pristine-lfs <none> ii python3-debianbts 4.1.1 ii python3-pycurl 7.45.6-1 ii quilt 0.68-1 pn ratt <none> pn reprotest <none> ii svn-buildpackage 0.8.10 pn w3m <none> -- debconf-show failed
