Package: tar Version: 1.22-1 Severity: important Since installing the latest version of tar, I'm getting failures in attempting to extract certain deb packages. For example, with telepathy-glib:
.... frobozz:/tmp$ dpkg-source -x telepathy-glib_0.7.29-1.dsc dpkg-source: extracting telepathy-glib in telepathy-glib-0.7.29 dpkg-source: info: unpacking telepathy-glib_0.7.29.orig.tar.gz dpkg-source: failure: gunzip died from signal 13 frobozz:/tmp$ ls telepathy-glib-0.7.29.orig/ frobozz:/tmp$ When I try the same thing with the previous version of tar installed, the package unpacks just fine. (Never mind the local "+pb1" versions below, I've also reproduced the same problem in a vanilla pbuilder chroot.) -- Daniel Schepler -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages tar depends on: ii libc6 2.9-6+pb1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries tar recommends no packages.
