Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pciutils
update-pciids.sh downloads a newer version of the pci.ids file. If available, it first downloads an bzip2 version of the file, then a gzipped one, then the plain text version. Then, it decompresses it and stores it in a plain, uncompressed text file. However, there is a debian patch that tries to modify it so it keeps the gzipped version. However, the patch doesn't work, and ends creating a /usr/share/misc/pci.ids.gz file, that's not gzipped. lspci however, reads first the .gz, and it works though it's not gzipped. That's why it has gone unnoticed. Steps to reproduce: With a clear installation: $ls -l /usr/share/misc/pci.ids* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 428084 2007-03-05 11:51 /usr/share/misc/pci.ids $ sudo update-pciids --12:54:47-- http://pciids.sourceforge.net/v2.2/pci.ids.bz2 => `/usr/share/misc/pci.ids.gz.new' Resolviendo pciids.sourceforge.net... 66.35.250.209 Conectando a pciids.sourceforge.net|66.35.250.209|:80... conectado.
