[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#982646: routine-update errors out with message "E: Uscan did not return tarball name"

Fri Feb 12 20:27:12 GMT 2021

Package: routine-update
Version: 0.0.6
Severity: normal

Dear people,

I'm using routine-update to automate some packaging of mine and, while I'm
still adapting, it works great.

That being said, I'm getting the following error message when I invoke
routine-update on a package where I'm working:

,----[ routine-update  ]
| gbp:info: Fetching from default remote for each branch
| gbp:info: Branch 'master' is already up to date.
| gbp:info: Branch 'upstream' is already up to date.
| 6b28db3bf21694f2dff16e367e17d19cefe2470e
| E: Uscan did not return tarball name
`----

In fact, I have already run routine-update, but stopped to change some stuff
manually (nothing that I believe that would affect the way that it works)
and routine-update had already imported the newest version of the tarball.

The output that I get from uscan is:

Is there anything that can be done to fix this? Am I using the tool
incorrectly?

Thanks,
