Public bug reported: When zlib acceleration is enabled, gzip fails when given multiple files larger than 5KB.
This problem does not happen when running gzip against a single file at a time. It only happens when you provide multiple files as gzip arguments. So this works whether zlib acceleration is enabled or not: for file in file1 file2; do gzip $file ; done But this fails (when zlib acceleration is enabled): gzip file1 file2 The patch to fix this has been accepted upstream: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gzip.git/commit/?id=be0a534ba2b6e77da289de8da79e70843b1028cc ** Affects: zlib (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Skipper Bug Screeners (skipper-screen-team) Status: New ** Tags: architecture-s39064 bugnameltc-188840 severity-high targetmilestone-inin2010 ** Tags added: architecture-s39064 bugnameltc-188840 severity-high targetmilestone-inin2010 ** Changed in: ubuntu Assignee: (unassigned) => Skipper Bug Screeners (skipper-screen-team) ** Package changed: ubuntu => zlib (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1901528 Title: [Ubuntu 20.10] - When zlib acceleration is enabled, gzip fails when given multiple files larger than 5KB (gzip) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zlib/+bug/1901528/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
