Manoj, something wacky is going on with all these bugs.

I downloaded libsepol_2.0.30.orig.tar.gz (from stable),
and cannot reproduce the failure with either the current
pristine-tar, or version 0.17, both run on amd64 unstable.

So I tried a stable amd64 chroot, but still cannot reproduce
the problem there.

Is it possible that you had some unusual or old version of gzip
on your system when pristine-tar was failing? pristine-tar 0.17
used the external gzip for reproducing these particular packages
and so relied on it having stable output.

New versions of pristine-tar contain their own built in copy of gzip,
so don't rely on the system one being sane.

(Same story seems to apply to libselinux, sepolgen, angband,
checkpolicy, refpolicy, libsemanage, at least pristine-tar on
unstable has no problems with any of them.)
