I wonder why none of the people who are having this problem really tried 
to get to the bottom of it. It wouldn't be hard to create a "debugging" 
version of tar that prints out some more information when it makes dpkg 
crash, like old and new ctime and old and new size. This would allow us 
to see whether tar is detecting real problems or is just being hysterical.
