Yeah, it's been happening to a lot of people lately. It happened to me with two packages the other day, synaptic and libfwbuilder7. There seems to be an issue with tar-1.16.1-1 and downgrading to 1.15.1-14 makes it go away. No one seems to know what's causing it. I compared the tar code in 1.16.1 and 1.15.1 (in create.c) and the way tar detects if "file changed as we read it" has changed considerably. And apparently bugily. :) I've heard that other distributions have also had issues with the latest tar and have chosen to stick with 1.15.1. I think we really need to downgrade tar to 1.15.1. Of course, that means using epoch; ick.
