The same happens if the directory name contains one or more tildes (~).
This is the case in many Debian packages since tilde is frequently used in a
version number. I've bumped into this while trying to generate documentation
for a package mine (asterisk).
However, the solution there is a bit more tricky. The following is the only
one that worked for me, credited to jwill from #debian-devel:
\begingroup
\catcode126=11
\gdef\filename{foo~bar}
\endgroup
\input{\filename}
In any case, I fail to see why rubber tries to convert relative paths to
absolute ones. It wouldn't solve this bug but at least would make its effect a
bit worse.
Thanks,
Faidon
