Package: dpkg Version: 1.20.5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
During a routine 'apt-get dist-upgrade' against testing, I got (in part): Preparing to unpack .../73-locales-all_2.31-3_amd64.deb ... Unpacking locales-all (2.31-3) over (2.31-2) ... dpkg-deb (subprocess): decompressing archive member: lzma error: compressed data is corrupt dpkg-deb: error: <decompress> subprocess returned error exit status 2 dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-EMKBka/73-locales-all_2.31-3_amd64.deb (--unpack): cannot copy extracted data for './usr/lib/locale/ja_JP.eucjp/LC_CTYPE' to '/usr/lib/locale/ja_JP.eucjp/LC_CTYPE.dpkg-new': unexpected end of file or stream ... Errors were encountered while processing: /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-EMKBka/73-locales-all_2.31-3_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) After this, a run of 'apt-get -f install' did not appear to act on the locales-all package, and did not fail. A subsequent repeat of the dist-upgrade command saw locales-all as the only package available to be upgraded, and proceeding let it upgrade without a repeat of the error. I have not thus far found anything elsewhere in the system (e.g. dmesg, for underlying disk errors) which might explain why this unexpected EOF occurred. I am not at all sure which package might be responsible for this; locales-all (and thus glibc) is a possibility, but at a glance I think this looks more like a dpkg issue, and I can't rule out that it's something else entirely. Please feel free to reassign - or, if e.g. this is likely a one-off local error which is not likely to recur for others, close - as you see fit. At least at the moment, I can no longer reproduce this failure, but just in case it isn't a one-off I didn't want to let it go unreported. As usual, if there is any information I can provide to help track this down, don't hesitate to ask. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'stable'), (500, 'testing-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.7.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.8-4 ii libc6 2.31-3 ii liblzma5 5.2.4-1+b1 ii libselinux1 3.1-2 ii tar 1.30+dfsg-7 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-2 dpkg recommends no packages.
