Package: pristine-tar Version: 0.14 Severity: normal I have $GZIP set in my ~/.bashrc to "-9". As a result zgz and thus pristine-tar fails to work because it adds -9 to the start of its own command line options, checks for --gnu / --zlib at the start of its options (moved by the handling of $GZIP) and then calls getopt, which does not know about the --gnu and --zlib options.
Moving the environment variable handling to after the --gnu / --zlib handling prevents the error, but gives different tarballs when GZIP is set to when it is unset (xgalaga was my test case). I'm not sure what the right thing to do is, but maybe deleting the GZIP environment variable is the right way to go since otherwise the data will be different? -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages pristine-tar depends on: ii libc6 2.7-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii perl-modules 5.10.0-11 Core Perl modules ii xdelta 1.1.3-8 A diff utility which works with bi ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages pristine-tar recommends: ii bzip2 1.0.5-0.1 high-quality block-sorting file co ii pbzip2 1.0.2-0 parallel bzip2 implementation -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
