[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#488827: fails to obtain orig tarball when building a -2 package

[martin f krafft]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.57.3-1
Severity: normal

I am trying to build a source package with Debian revision -2 and
thus no orig.tar.gz. At first, sbuild complained:

  Automatic build of molly-guard_0.4.4-2 on pulse by sbuild/amd64 0.57.0        
  Build started at 20080701-1530
  ******************************************************************************
  /usr/bin/md5sum: ./molly-guard_0.4.4.orig.tar.gz: No such file or directory
  Checking available source versions...
  E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list
  /usr/bin/apt-cache returned no information about molly-guard source
  Are there any deb-src lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list?

After I put in the line and ran the upgrade, I get

  Automatic build of molly-guard_0.4.4-2 on pulse by sbuild/amd64 0.57.0        
  Build started at 20080701-1533
  ******************************************************************************
  /usr/bin/md5sum: ./molly-guard_0.4.4.orig.tar.gz: No such file or directory
  Checking available source versions...
  Checking available source versions...
  Can't find source for molly-guard_0.4.4-2
  (only different version(s) molly-guard 0.4.4-1 found)

It's looking for the wrong thing and thus fails.

  apt-get --tar-only source molly-guard

would have obtained the file...
