There is a long-ish explanation in the commit message for 0181a8bea44aa348993a3d77a9cdce7a59c4f709 claiming this is a problem with running git as root, and proposing a fix, "tell git to trust the repo", but that fix doesn't seem to work here.

Same for me ... I'm still facing this issue (again) in recent builds, while was working well a month ago. All those jobs were using dawidd6/action-debian-package@v1.4.4 and it is not limited to one repo, but affects all of my (recent) pipelines.

it seems something different then #62

Maybe it's worth to try another approach?

https://github.com/pi-top/debian-package-build-action is using https://github.com/pi-top/debian-package-build-action/blob/master/docker_base/scripts/build/build-deb.sh#L39-L58 to create the tarball

Thanks @waja, looks like it works now!

Works for me now, too! Thanks!
