Package: aespipe
Version: 2.3b-4
Severity: important

When you decrypt a file, it is not same as original, because it has
additional bytes at the end. If you know the length of original file,
than you can reconstruct it with program dd.

For example, make some tar archive a.tgz, encrypt it with aespipe into
a.tgz.aespipe, than decrypt it into a2.tgz. When you type "tar ztf
a2.tgz", you get an error

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

All files are listed, but still you get an error, which can sometimes
make confusion.
