Hi,
the current version of tar breaks build of gcj-4.4 on GNU/kFreeBSD.
https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=gcj-4.4&ver=4.4.0-6j1&arch=kfreebsd-amd64&stamp=1245000137&file=log:
uudecode -o - java-classes.tgz.uue | tar -C src -xvz
libjava/classpath/tools/classes/gnu/classpath/tools/gjdoc/Main.class
sbuild received SIGPIPE -- shutting down
It looks like related to #525437, #532570, #525818.
The problem appears when a grandchild tar is used.
In the "child_pid", the child_pid is zero, the kill() signals
every process in the process group of the calling process
instead of themselves.
Please apply patch bellow, it would also be nice
if you can inform upstream about this issue.
Thanks in advance
Petr
