Hi,
I would like to update xarchiver in Jessie. It was discovered that
data loss could occur when an archive name contained shell
metacharacters. [1]
Please find attached the debdiff.
Regards,
Markus

+ [ Chris Lamb ]
+ * Fix data-loss issue where adding files to a tar-based archive removed all
+ existing content when the target filename included shell metacharacters.
+ The test to see whether it already existed to determine whether to create
+ a new archive or simply add a new file incorrectly used an escaped path.
+ Thanks to Nikolaus Rath for the report and Chris Lamb for the patch.
