Hi, I promised report this little issue upstream [1] : Some backported a fix for gnu tar (bug #1230762 [2] ) to fix amanda backup software, this however caused problems with dpkg in Fedora. The problem is that 'dpkg-build' calls 'tar' with --no-recursion speficied "after" -T option, in this case --no-recursion has no effect on members specified before.
and the patch is here [3] [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1241508#c0 [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1230762 [3] http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/dpkg.git/tree/dpkg-tar-invocation.patch Thanks, -- Sérgio M. B.
