Bug#879798: FTBFS: testsuite fails with dpkg 1.19, patch attached

[Adam Conrad]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.17.10
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu bionic ubuntu-patch



In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * test/test_mk-origtargz: Adjust test for dpkg 1.19's ErrorHandling.pm.

Fairly self-explanatory, I'd think.  In dpkg 1.19, ErrorHandling.pm was
normalised to match libdpkg error messages, and this means the expected
error in the mk-origtargz test is now incorrect.  This patch fixes that.
