--- Begin Message ---Package: bsdcpio Version: 2.4.11-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable The option parsing of bsdcpio is totally broken on arm, armel, s390 and powerpc due to a wrong assumption on char signedness. From cpio/cpio.c: char opt; [...] while ((opt = cpio_getopt(cpio)) != -1) { [...] This yields a compiler warning, as seen in eg. the arm build log: cpio/cpio.c: In function 'main': cpio/cpio.c:114: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type The result is that any bsdcpio invocation fails with the usage instructions. I have verified this on an arm Etch installation with a backported package, but there's little doubt that it's the case also for the current sid packages. See eg. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2001/12/msg02074.html for a discussion on the char signedness issue. Cheers, -- Niko Tyni [EMAIL PROTECTED]
