Thanks for the report, I > will let you know whenever it is fixed Once again -- thanks for reporting! In the long run, solving this now avoided me need to mediate it later at the wider scope. You should be able to get a fixed version now -- I've uploaded new packages to our main NH mirror, version 2.6.4-2~nd14.04+2. For the record: The issue was tricky -- it was the effect of the uploaded to NeuroDebian backport of tar 1.29b-1.1 on dpkg-deb which generates actual .deb files deep within the chain of commands used to build packages. It was specific only to Ubuntu trusty. Only pymvpa2 and singularity-container packages were affected so far (that new tar was needed to build singularity in a reproducible fashion). I have left singularity package in the archive with this defect, since unlikely it would conflict with anything now ;-) and will need to come up with a proper solution for the next upload.
