Bug#796994: vistrails: changelog file wasn't updated

Bug#784362: tar: Radical change in --keep-old-files behavior since Wheezy
Package: tar Version: 1.27.1-2+b1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer, I noticed a major change in behavior between Wheezy (GNU tar 1.26) and Jessie (GNU tar 1.27.1), using the --keep-old-files option. On the previous version, where --skip-old-files is *not* available, --keep-old-files silently ignores existing files (behavior of current --skip-old-files). On the current version, --keep-old-files reports errors for existing files and returns with an error status (2) if exiting files are encountered. I'm all for adding new features, but it seems that my only possible workaround is to detect whether --skip-old-files is available, so I can choose which option does what I need (and that need is very basic). This script should highlight the difference in behavior: cd touch a b tar cf t.tar.gz a b rm b tar xf t.tar.gz --keep-old-files a b; echo $? # fails with a: Cannot open: File exists, 2 on Jessie # succeeds on Wheezy rm -f b tar xf t.tar.gz --skip-old-files a b; echo $? # succeeds on Jessie # fails with unrecognized option '--skip-old-files', 64 on Wheezy rm -f t.tar.gz a b Seems to affect Ubuntu as well (difference between 12.04 and 14.04, same GNU tar versions). Of course, if I somehow missed the obvious way to get the behavior I need, don't hesitate to correct me.

Bug#776096: bsdmainutils: hexdump fails if format_string contains backslash
Package: bsdmainutils Version: 9.0.6 Severity: important Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer, I was trying to get hexdump to output a C-string with hexadecimal escapes, like \x68\x65\x6C\x6C\x6F\x0A. Not only did I never reach that result, but I also run into error messages that don't appear to make much sense. $ echo hello | hexdump -v -e \\\x\ 1/1 \%02X\ x68x65x6Cx6Cx6Fx0A $ echo hello | hexdump -v -e \x\ 1/1 \%02X\ \\68\\65\\6C\\6C\\6F\\0A $ echo hello | hexdump -v -e 1/1 \\\x%02X\ hexdump: %A: bad conversion character $ echo hello | hexdump -v -e 1/1 \x%02X\ hexdump: %A: bad conversion character -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages bsdmainutils depends on: ii bsdutils 1:2.25.2-4 ii debianutils 4.4+b1 ii libc62.19-13 ii libncurses5 5.9+20140913-1+b1 ii libtinfo55.9+20140913-1+b1 bsdmainutils recommends no packages.
