I was called upone debugging the very same error for another package,
the tarball can be found at [1] (and it's a way smaller test case…)
The thing is definitely tar's fault, I could trigger the same error with
cat gocryptfs_v1.4.2_src-deps.tar | tar --delete
gocryptfs_v1.4.2_src-deps/vendor/github.com/jacobsa/crypto/.travis.yml > out.tar
i.e. without involving mk-origtargz at all.
I noticed that I can workaround the issue by firstly retarring the
tarball, i.e. the following sequence worked for me:
tar xaf gocryptfs_v1.4.2_src-deps.tar.gz
tar caf gocryptfs_v1.4.2_src-deps.tar.gz gocryptfs_v1.4.2_src-deps
cd packaging_dir
mk-origtargz -v 1.4.2 ../gocryptfs_v1.4.2_src-deps.tar.gz
Diffoscoping the original tarball and the retarred one I noticed that:
1) the original tarball has mixed file owners, some files are owned by
root, others by an actual user
2) the tarball was not created by GNU tar (i.e. `file` reports "POSIX
tar archive" instead of "POSIX tar archive (GNU)")
Just dumping here some findings. Probably somebody should file a bug at
GNU tar.
