Source: dpkg Version: 1.18.0 Severity: minor The exact configure line is: ./configure --prefix=/tools --disable-dselect --without-zlib --without-bz2 --without-liblzma --without-selinux PERL_LIBDIR=/tools/lib/perl/5.20.2
With this build, trying to create a package fails with: gzip: invalid option -- '-' Try `gzip --help' for more information. dpkg-deb (subprocess): subprocess compressing control member returned error exit status 1 dpkg-deb: error: subprocess <compress> from tar -cf returned error exit status 2 It appears that gzip is being called with arguments -c -n-1. (Also, tracing the code path, as far as I can tell even in the zlib case gzdopen would be called with mode "w-1" and I'm not sure exactly what effect that would have.) Passing --uniform-compression does work around the issue. -- Daniel Schepler
