Package: dpkg Version: 1.13.0 Severity: wishlist
Hi, So as to have proper file name encoding, I'm used to have TAR_OPTIONS=--format=posix But then built packages don't work: $ echo $TAR_OPTIONS --format=posix $ apt-get source xsnow $ cd xsnow-1.41 $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot $ su # cd .. # dpkg -i xsnow_1.41-2_i386.deb (Reading database ... 103333 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace xsnow 1:1.41-2 (using .../samy/xsnow_1.41-2_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement xsnow ... dpkg: error processing /home/samy/xsnow_1.41-2_i386.deb (--install): corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive: Success dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /home/samy/xsnow_1.41-2_i386.deb Of course, it would properly work if TAR_OPTIONS was empty (and hence dpkg-buildpackage would use usual tar format). I suggest dpkg should be able to handle tar posix format. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
