Package: alien
Version: 8.80
Severity: normal
'alien' doesn't like this source package in '/tmp':
% cd /tmp
% wget
'http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/gwc/gwc2/0.21-10/gwc-0.21-10.tgz?use_mirror=iweb'
{...successful download stats deleted...}
% alien gwc-0.21-10.tgz
Use of uninitialized value $log in die at
/usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package/Deb.pm line 495, <FILELIST> line 289.
Package build failed. Here's the log:
find: `gwc-0.21': No such file or directory
Running 'alien -g gwc-0.21-10.tgz' works. Move 'gwc-0.21-10.tgz' to
another directory, 'cd' there, and 'alien' works, generating the '.deb'
package as expected.
HTH...
