Subject: tar: Tar --verify fails with >4GB files Package: tar Version: 1.16.1-1 Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line *** When creating archives with member files larger than 4GB (might be a 2GB limit; not sure), the --verify option fails. (Creation and extraction of archives with > 4GB files works fine without the --verify option.)
