Package: dpkg Version: 1.19.7 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
dpkg-deb fails to create a package with a size greater than 2 GB. To reproduce this issue use the attached file to create a 2.4 GB package, this despite being on a 64-bit system: $ tar xfz testpkg.tar.gz $ cd testpkg $ fakeroot ./build [...] + dh_builddeb --destdir=. dpkg-deb: building package 'testpkg' in './testpkg_1.0-1_all.deb'. dpkg-deb (subprocess): compressing tar member: lzma write error: No space left on device dpkg-deb: error: <compress> from tar -cf subprocess returned error exit status 2 dh_builddeb: dpkg-deb --build debian/testpkg . returned exit code 2 dh_builddeb: Aborting due to earlier error Note that neither tar nor ar have any trouble dealing with archives with a size greater than 2 GB. Also this is not specific to the lzma compressor: using gzip instead produces the same error. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-10-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=fr:en_US (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-9.2~deb10u1 ii libc6 2.28-10 ii liblzma5 5.2.4-1 ii libselinux1 2.8-1+b1 ii tar 1.30+dfsg-6 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 dpkg recommends no packages.
