Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.18.12 See the transcript below, where I get this message: dpkg-source: error: diff 'glibc-2.23/debian/patches/hurd-i386/cvs-IPV6_PKTINFO.diff' patches files multiple times; split the diff in multiple files or merge the hunks into a single one This only happens if this difficulty applies to the first unapplied patch. This causes dgit import-dsc to fail on this .dsc. (#848391) Since I want dgit to work on previous versions of Debian, where this bug will probably not be fixed in dpkg, I propose to work around it as follows: Every time dgit uses dpkg-source --before-build in this way, it will generate a spurious patch which creates a spurious file that dgit will remove again. (Also, I discover that if I make a patch that does absolutely, nothing, dpkg-source --before-build does this: dpkg-source: warning: diff 'glibc-2.23/debian/patches/dgit-omg-wtf' doesn't contain any patch and *fails to apply the rest of the series*!)
