If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-trusty to verification-done-trusty. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-trusty.

Commit c17be3cbfc58e5b54ae1d5ae4714460d7ae2e15c from git://anonscm.debian.org/dpkg/dpkg.git seems to contain a fix. It can be applied to 1.17.5ubuntu5.7, and I successfully built a package. With said patch applied, xz compressed control.tar files seem to be supported. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1730627 Title: xz compressed control.tar files not supported To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/1730627/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
