[Bug 376623] [NEW] update-maintainer doesn't work for fakesyncs

[Bryce Harrington]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

If you're doing a fakesync, the version should be something like
'1.2.3-1build1'.  update-maintainer doesn't recognize this as a valid
Ubuntu version number and so fails to run.

Something like this is needed in the script:

if ! head -1 $DEBIANDIR/changelog | egrep -q '(*ubuntu.*|*build.*)'
then
        echo "Latest changelog entry has no Ubuntu version number." >&2
        exit 1
fi

** Affects: ubuntu-dev-tools (Ubuntu)
