[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#359747: Fails to install sourcedeps when dsc has a ./ prefix

[Roger Leigh]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.42
Severity: important

sbuild does not install sourcedeps when invoked like this:

  $ sbuild ./package_version.dsc

but does when invoked as

  $ sbuild package_version

and the files are in the current working directory.  Both commands
should install missing sourcedeps and package build-depends.

This appears to be a regresssion (it used to work just fine), but
I now can't get any previous version of sbuild to work either, so
it's possibly due to a change in a dependent package (such as perl).

Example run:
