thanks
In my last message I wrote:
I am not so certain. Tar-mode works fine with coding-system utf-8, also
for gzipped tarballs. What might be the culprit is the message
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
that appears (hidden, due to narrowing) in the *.deb-DATA buffer. This may
indicate that Emacs sends the data.tar.gz in the .deb file with
coding-conversion to gzip, which will fail then.
Now I inspected the issue closer, and the problem seems to be the
following: Although coding-system-for-read is bound to 'no-conversion in
the function deb-view-process, that is not sufficient, since the *.deb-DATA
buffer is created with
(call-process "ar" nil '(t t) nil "-p" debfile "data.tar.gz") and
(call-process-region (point-min) (point-max) "gzip" t t nil "-cd"))
and these functions use default-process-coding-system rather than
coding-system-for-read. The former is set to '(mule-utf-8 . mule-utf-8) in
my setup, and that caused the problem. So the solution is to bind
default-process-coding-system as well in deb-view-process, as in the
following patch:

That seems to solve the problem, I have tested it with both emacs21 and
emacs-snapshot.
Best regards,
Sven
