JJJollyjimHi all! http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/fixing-a-bug.html says this is the place to go with questions about patching packages, but the package I'm hoping to patch is in main, not *verse -- is this still the right place?01:09
tewardJJJollyjim: the process for patching remains the same, whether it's for Universe or Main01:11
teward(this channel is fairly dead though... but you can still ask)01:11
tewardJJJollyjim: if you have any questions, I'll be happy to help if I can :)01:14
JJJollyjimhmm, I set up pbuilder with pbuilder-dist bionic create03:41
JJJollyjimand am now attempting pbuilder-dist bionic build xyz.dsc03:41
JJJollyjimbut it errors out trying to extract /home/testuser/pbuilder/bionic-base.tgz, which is a zero byte file!03:42
JJJollyjimthe create command went through with no error messages03:42
JJJollyjimany ideas?03:42
JJJollyjim(no error messages apart from "W: No local /etc/mailname to copy, relying on /var/cache/pbuilder/build/9657/etc/mailname to be correct", which sounds unimportant)03:43
LoganJJJollyjim: I would remove that file and try again. It sounds like it failed at creating the base tarball03:59
JJJollyjimUnfortunately I already did remove ~/pbuild and try again, with the same outcome04:00
