Bug#565474: cpio makes device nodes into hard links when copying out of a cramfs image

2011-07-24 Thread Carl Miller
Ping? The patch given in message #40 of the bug archive solved the problem, and has been running error-free continuously since. Just wondering if it's been made part of the standard patches Debian applies to the original upsteam source yet, or even better, pushed upstream for inclusion in the

Bug#303030: Occurring reliably for me on both available and status

2011-05-05 Thread Carl Miller
I was trying to do a selective upgrade last weekend, and got hit by what sounds exactly like this bug. It messed up both the available and the status file. I keep a nice automated backup system running, so I restored those two files from the last backup. Tried the upgrade again. Same result.

Morita, nice work! I was planning on doing the exact same thing after I straced a running fcrackzip and saw what was going on. However, I see one problem with your proposed patch. You've left out the check against unzip returning 1, which according to the comments in the original code, should
