Package: debian-cd
Version: 3.0.2
Severity: important
In the file tools/make_disc_trees.pl in debian-cd-3.0.2, we see this:
sub md5_files_for_release {
my ($md5, $size, $filename);
$filename = $File::Find::name;
# Recompress the Packages and Sources files; workaround for bug
# #402482
if ($filename =~ m/\/.*\/(Packages|Sources)$/o) {
system("gzip -9c < $_ >$_.gz");
}
... rest deleted
The function is invoked as:
find (\&md5_files_for_release, ".");
The PROBLEM is that if Packages.gz exists, and is found BEFORE Packages,
you wind up with a corrupt Release file! "find" does NOT sort its
files, so this can happen if you're unlucky.
