Ah, the issue is the "http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/k/kcemu/"
bit; it's not fetching the source via HTTP.  Was this working correctly
with 0.60.0?  I was testing with directly downloading with apt, which is
the conventional way of using it, along with using local sources.  It
may be that the HTTP downloading is broken.  Does it work for you if
you download the source first and then use the local .dsc as the source
to build?

I just checked, and this code hasn't changed since 2009 when Andres
Mejia created it.  It's possible some change since then has caused
some breakage, or a change in the perl modules used to do the
HTTP downloading have caused the problem.  That will need some
further investigating.  I'm afraid I'm a bit busy for the next few
weeks, but I can at least reproduce it now I know what's wrong,
which will make it easier.

If you have the time to look further into what's going wrong, that
would be great, otherwise I'll do it when I have time.  Note it's
in Sbuild::Utility::download(), called from
Sbuild::Build::fetch_source_files().

Roger
