Bug#383394: [Pbuilder-maint] Bug#383394: pbuilder: Fails to build if source tree has files with zero size

[Junichi Uekawa]

Hi,

Please give more specific information.

Is your 'source tree' a modified source tree?
Check your .diff.gz file.

patch will probably treat zero-sized files as file deletions, which is
a behavior of dpkg-source, not restricted to pbuilder.
