Bug#704504: dget: confused by "compressed" in ~/.curlrc

[Trent W. Buck]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.12.6
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/dget

    $ dget --insecure https://launchpad.net/~linrunner/+archive/tlp/+files/tlp_0.3.8.1-1.dsc
    [...]
    $ dpkg-source -x *dsc
    gpgv: Signature made Sat 30 Mar 2013 10:06:24 EST using DSA key ID BB97FFE6
    gpgv: Can't check signature: public key not found
    dpkg-source: warning: failed to verify signature on ./tlp_0.3.8.1-1.dsc
    dpkg-source: error: File ./tlp_0.3.8.1-1.diff.gz has size 21414 instead of expected 7455
    $ file *.diff.gz
    tlp_0.3.8.1-1.diff.gz: unified diff output, UTF-8 Unicode text

If I comment out "compressed" from my ~/.curlrc and refetch, I get

    $ file *diff.gz
    tlp_0.3.8.1-1.diff.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, max compression

Since I'm reluctant to leave it commented out, it would be nice if
dget passed the appropriate options to make curl DTRT.  Unfortunately
I suspect it won't be as easy as simply adding --no-compressed -- I
darkly suspect that will break things for someone else.  If that's the
case, feel free to WONTFIX this, the issue doesn't bother me much.

(FYI, this comment says why I originally added the option.)

    # When an httpd compresses without being told to, you end up with a
    # file "foo" that should actually be "foo.gz".  This tells curl to
    # DTRT and decompress it so that "foo" contains "foo".
