Upon re-reading, my wording was perhaps a bit unclear. Here, 'index' refers to 'tar t'. or the index output by tar. We collect both named and numerical owners, which require two separate runs. > In your case, the index of 'installed' files seems to be the issue. This index is the full in-memory replication of the file list (including checksums and, sometimes, cached content). It is based on Lintian::Index, which is how checks examine files installed in *.deb packages. Lintian provides four indices total: installed, control, patched and orig. Their features are identical.
