Package: dar Version: 2.4.8-1 Severity: normal Severity normal because at least one [rare] archive corruption bug was fixed in new upstream releases since 2.4.8.
Please update to the latest upstream (and, if possible, provide a backports release). According to the changelogs posted on the dar ML, several minor bugs, and one archive data corruption bug related to sparse files have been fixed since version 2.4.8. This bug might also affect stable (2.4.5), although since it causes dar to create a broken archived file that fails the CRC check, it should be noticed if the backup archive is tested. the changelogs can be found on: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.dar.announce -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
