This bug breaks autopkgtest running on bionic for (apparently) all trusty packages.
For example: $ lsb_release -r Release: 18.04 $ pull-lp-source bash trusty ... $ autopkgtest -U bash_4.3-7ubuntu1.7.dsc -- lxd ubuntu-daily:trusty ... autopkgtest [13:31:50]: ERROR: "dpkg --unpack /tmp/autopkgtest.nywTmz/autopkgtest-satdep.deb" failed with stderr "dpkg-deb: error: archive '/tmp/autopkgtest.nywTmz/autopkgtest-satdep.deb' has premature member 'control.tar.xz' before 'control.tar.gz', giving up it's like that for all the trusty packages I tested. ** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu Trusty) Assignee: Adam Conrad (adconrad) => Dan Streetman (ddstreet) -- 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
