--- Begin Message ---Package: paq8l Version: 20070308-1 Severity: important When using high compression on files, even small ones like copies of /etc/passwd, the screen starts filling with errors like these: $ cd /tmp $ cp /etc/passwd . $ paq8l -9 passwd Transform fails at 0, input=0 decoded=0, skipping... Transform fails at -2147483648, input=0 decoded=0, skipping... Transform fails at 0, input=0 decoded=0, skipping... Transform fails at -2147483648, input=0 decoded=0, skipping... This seems to be a known bug in related versions (see notes at http://www.maximumcompression.com/index.html for a mention of this in PAQ8O10), but I don't know if there's an upstream fix. It's worth noting that at least in my test case, the problem goes away with the standard compression level: $ paq8l passwd Creating archive passwd.paq8l with 1 file(s)... passwd 1738 -> 540 1738 -> 565 Time 0.39 sec, used 233736464 bytes of memory Close this window or press ENTER to continue... so this seems to only affect larger files and/or files compressed at higher compression levels. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (700, 'unstable'), (600, 'stable'), (550, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages paq8l depends on: ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.0-3 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.3.0-3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 paq8l recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
