the mothur issue is settled but I think there is a new problem with
ordinary *.tgz files now:  Please try:

  apt-get source gnumed-client
  cd <unpackdir>
  debian/rules get-orig-source

I get:

$ debian/rules get-orig-source
uscan --verbose --force-download --repack-compression xz
-- Scanning for watchfiles in .
-- Found watchfile in ./debian
-- In debian/watch, processing watchfile line:

make: *** [get-orig-source] Fehler 255


I also got the message 

  Cannot determine compression method of ... at /home/andreas/bin/uscan line 1969.                                                                                         

for an ordinary *.tgz without any attempt to unpack (for gnumed-server actually).

Any clue what might went wrong?

Kind regards

       Andreas.
