Package: pbzip2 Version: 1.1.1-1 Severity: important pbzip2, when run as root, does not preserve the user and group ownership of the source file on the newly created .bz2 file if the source file is zero length.
This is inconsistent with its behaviour in lenny, but worse it is inconsistent with bzip2 itself for which it should be a drop in replacement. This may seem trivial (it's a weird edge case, I'll grant you), but it just broke a lot of cron jobs following a dist-upgrade :) wilson:~# : >test1 wilson:~# : >test2 wilson:~# chown mike test? wilson:~# pbzip2 test1 wilson:~# bzip2 test2 wilson:~# ls -l test?.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14 Feb 1 11:19 test1.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 mike root 14 Feb 1 11:18 test2.bz2 -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages pbzip2 depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-6+squeeze1 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.11.3-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-8 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.4.5-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 pbzip2 recommends no packages. pbzip2 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
