Package: tla
Version: 1.3.3-3
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source
Since the current development archive of tla can only be accessed with tla
version >= 1.3.2 I tried to backport 1.3.3-2 to sarge. The build went fine but
the tests failed with an apparent tar error:
======= TESTING: undo =======
Test 1: undoing single file modification
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
This is the same bug that is dexcribed on:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-arch-users/2004-02/msg00122.html
and the solution is described on:
https://launchpad.net/products/bazaar/+bug/235
which shows that a simple patch to the file
tla-1.3.3/src/tla/tests/test-framework
can fix the problem.
