Hello together,
I have an issue with the new version of my package free42-nologo. I
processed this the usual way: downloading, unpacking, debianize it with
dh_make and making some changes with dquilt (makefile mainly). Then I
invoked dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc and here I got en error for
the wrong archive format of upstream:
dpkg-source: error: can't build with source format '3.0 (quilt)': no
upstream tarball found at
../free42-nologo_1.4.77.orig.tar.{bz2,gz,lzma,xz} no upstream tarball ...
I tried to circumvent this by unpacking the actual archive, and then
created a tarball an 'gzippd' it, but not even this helped here. Does
anybody have a clue, how to solve this?
Thank you in advance
Best Regards Christian

Since this is an update to an existing package, you don't need to re-
deianize it or run dh_make again. From within the packaging of the old
version, simply run 'uupdate -v <new version> <new tarball>'.
See:

The error message is still referencing the old version number. This
probably means you havn't added a new debian/changelog entry yet.
