Public bug reported: Under Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS trying to add a file to an existing zoo archive results in a fatal error. The bug is very easy to reproduce, just create a zoo archive and then try to add a file to it: zapman@ubuntu:~/zoo$ zoo -add archive.zoo test.txt Zoo: test.txt -- (28%) added zapman@ubuntu:~/zoo$ zoo -add archive.zoo ../zoo_2.10-23_amd64.deb Zoo: FATAL: Archive header failed consistency check.
The zoo package version was 2.10-21 but the same also happened with 2.10-23 which I grabbed from Launchpad. I also burnt a 32bit CD of 10.04.3 to test the package and everything worked fine, so this problem seems specific to the amd64 architecture. IIRC no other archiver has a generations feature like zoo, and this bug prevents me from using it. Interestingly, a similar - if not identical - bug was filed on Debian years ago, a patch was provided and the issue was marked as fixed; but after burning debian-live-6.0.3-amd64-rescue.iso on a CD and installing zoo it seems that the problem still exists. The same test with debian- live-6.0.3-i386-standard.iso worked fine, the amd64 architecture seems to be the prime suspect again. The Debian bug in question is Bug 335114 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=335114>.
