Bug#376351: dpkg-deb: Problem with tar?

2006-07-02 Thread Helge Kreutzmann
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.13.22
Severity: normal

I tried rebuilding goobox on current unstable. Everything seems to work
fine, but in the last line of the build I see a strange error (?) message of
tar. It comes from within dpkg-deb, thus I report it here.

dh_builddeb -pgoobox
dpkg-deb --build debian/goobox ..
dpkg-deb: baue Paket »goobox« in »../goobox_0.9.93-2_i386.deb«.
tar: -: file name read contains nul character

goobox_0.9.93-2_i386.deb looks fine on first inspection.

I've not seen this tar message before, but if it is a new expected
behaviour, please close (and maybe direct it to /dev/null to not
confuse users).

If you need more or additional info, please tell me which.

It's only a warning. The generated package is still valid.

Kind Regards,
