Bug#870148: devscripts: deb-reversion non-functional / Debian Bug report log- #559702

[christian_flach at gmx.net]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.17.9
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I’m trying to re-package libpangoft2-1.0-0_1.36.8-3_i386.deb in order to install it on a multiarch config on my raspi.
Therefore I need to change the version to 1.36.8-3+rpi1 in order to make dpkg install the i386 version.
Seemingly it is not possible to tell dpkg to install 1.36.8-3:i386 while 1.36.8-3+rpi1:armhf is installed for the native architecture…

Anyway,
I cant get deb-reversion to work for me. I use the latest version of the script available at https://github.com/Debian/devscripts.git
But when I do a dry-run w/o providing the new target Version:

christian at raspberrypi:~ $ sudo deb-reversion libpangoft2-1.0-0_1.36.8-3_i386.deb

I get this error message:

mv: der Aufruf von stat für „../dpkg-name: Information: »package.deb« nach »./libpangoft2-1.0-0_1.36.8-3LOCAL.1_i386.deb« verschoben“ ist nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis $

Which tranlates to exactly what is mentioned in  Bug report log- #559702

I assume that the old bug was fixed Long ago – so I dont understand why this is not working…

Many Thanks,
Best regards,

Christian
