[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package devscripts - 2.23.3ubuntu2

---------------
devscripts (2.23.3ubuntu2) lunar; urgency=medium

  * Drop debpkg to make devscripts architecture all. Instead of debpkg please
    use sudo for debi (or, highly dangerous, make dpkg setuid root).
  * Revert special handling for i386

Title:
  [edit-patch] Fails on creating new patch

Status in devscripts package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  edit-patch exits when run on a source package using quilt without any
  existing patches.

  For example:

  cd ~
  bzr init-repo powernap
  bzr branch ubuntu:powernap powernap.dev
  cd powernap.dev
  edit-patch temp

  The script exits without reason.

  Further examination shows that the script exits on the 'quilt top' command, which is returning a 2 error status. 
  The 'set -e' command at the beginning of the 'edit-patch' script is the reason the script immediately exits as well.
