Trying to build a deb package on Debian 12, following the instructions here: https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher/tree/main/packaging/deb

When I get to the dpkg-buildpackage --no-sign step, I am met with this error:

dpkg-source: info: using options from umu-launcher/debian/source/options: --extend-diff-ignore=Makefile
dpkg-source: error: can't build with source format '3.0 (quilt)': no upstream tarball found at ../umu-launcher_1.0.orig.tar.{bz2,gz,lzma,xz}
dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-source -b . subprocess returned exit status 2

To get around this, I removed the format file (mv debian/source/format debian/source/format_bak), then at least the build completed successfully. But once I tried to install the deb packages, it failed because Debian 12's version of python3-filelock is too old, so I downloaded and installed the version in the stable testing (Trixie) repository, linked below. There were no dependency problems, so I think this should be ok.

Thanks for reporting this.

cc @CosmicFusion for the dpkg-buildpackage error and if it's possible to catch this in the CI.

I believe the Debian package instructions in the repo assumes that the platform is Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat), hence I specified the minimum version for python3-filelock to be at least 3.13.1.

Though given that this is for a .deb package, perhaps the version should be lowered at another version...
