Subject: dpkg-scanpacakges creates duplicate slashes (//) in Packages.gz paths

Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2015 06:07:17 +0000

Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.18.2
Severity: normal
base

I’m actually using the homebrew dpkg-scanpackages on OS X. I found that dpkg adds an extra / to file paths when using anything other than the current directory.
The Homebrew folk suggested I file an upstream bug:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/44053#issuecomment-140935850



eg:

dpkg-scanpackages binary binary/override | gzip -9c > binary/Packages.gz

yields:
Filename: binary//pkgname_3.49.0-SNAPSHOT-1_all.deb


There’s a similar bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=122255

commit 3f8099b21bbb934d03c340fef1925824465e0571
Author: Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>
Date:   Fri Oct 2 13:57:57 2015 +0200

    scripts: Switch all find(1) command calls to File::Find
    
    The find(1) command has subtle behavior differences depending on the
    implementation (for example BSD vs GNU), the perl module is more portable
    and has a more consistent behavior, such as always canonicalizing the
    pathnames.
    
    Closes: #800649

Changes:
 dpkg (1.18.4) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Guillem Jover ]
   * Switch dpkg-scansources and dpkg-scanpackages to use File::Find instead
     of find(1), as the former is more portable with more consistent behavior,
     and always canonicalizes the pathnames. Closes: #800649
   * Initialize Config-Version also for packages previously in triggers-pending
     state, otherwise we end up not passing the previously configured version
     to «postinst configure», which might consider this a first install instead
     of an upgrade. Closes: #801156
   * Fix memory leaks in «dpkg --verify» and dpkg infodb format upgrade logic.
   * Merge all update-alternatives action handling into a single if-else-if
     block, to unify the code an allow a future switch into a shared library.
   * Perform any necessary cleanups on normal exit from dpkg-divert --add and
     --remove commands.
   * Make dpkg-architecture warning on non-matching GNU system type compiler
     agnostic.
   * Add ‘.gitreview’ to the default dpkg-source ignore lists.
   * Add support for DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_DEBUG environment variable to dpkg.
   * Fix dpkg-checkbuilddeps exit code to be 1 instead of a random error value
     on unsatisfied dependencies. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.3.
   * Fix an off-by-one write access in dpkg-deb when parsing the old format
     .deb control member size. Thanks to Hanno Böck <hanno@hboeck.de>.
     Fixes CVE-2015-0860.
   * Fix an off-by-one read access in dpkg-deb when parsing ar member names.
     Thanks to Hanno Böck <hanno@hboeck.de>.
   * Add experimental multithreaded xz compression support in libdpkg, which
     requires xz >= 5.2.0.
   * Fix physical file offset comparison in dpkg. Closes: #808912
     Thanks to Yuri Gribov <tetra2005@gmail.com>.
   * Fix usage of dpkg-architecture -s after other action options.
     Reported by Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>.
   * Add NIOS2 support to cputable. Thanks to Marek Vasut <marex@denx.de>.
   * On Debian and derivatives enable timeless build flag feature by default.
     Thanks to Paul Wise <pabs@debian.org>. Closes: #805872
   * Perl modules:
     - Add support for Build-Essential field. Closes: #806315
   * Test suite:
     - Improve perl code test coverage.
   * Build system:
     - Set PERL5LIB globally for the test suite to the local modules directory,
       to avoid using the system modules. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.17.8.
       Reported by Jérémy Bobbio <lunar@debian.org>. Closes: #801329
     - Use absolute buildir pathnames in PATH variable for the test suite.
     - Descend into scripts directory when cleaning up code coverage files.
     - Add new configure option --disable-devel-docs to select the kind of docs
       to generate, default for now is development documentation.
     - Try to use AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION to benefit from the latest
       installed gettext version, while guaranteeing a minimal required version.
   * Packaging:
     - Add missing Build-Depends for restriction formula support.
   * Documentation:
     - Move description for “target architecture” from the dpkg-architecture(1)
       ‘-A’ option to the TERMS section. Closes: #799046
     - Clarify that the md5sum check on «dpkg --verify» is performed on the
       file contents, and failures denote changed content. Closes: #760248
     - Document that dpkg-buildpacakge -nc -S implies -d.
     - Clarify role of Build-Depends in deb-src-control(5).
       Prompted by Johannes Schauer <j.schauer@email.de>.
     - Document supported feature areas.
     - Clarify in dpkg-query(1) when binary:Package gets arch-qualified.
       Closes: #801958
     - Add a subsection separating external from internal environment variables
       in dpkg(1).
