Package: squeeze Version: 0.2.3-8 Severity: normal A friend backed up a user directory to a pendrive. Everything went fine, or so she thought. I wanted to save something on the same pendrive, and found out that it was full. I got suspicious, and unfortunately it turned out that the archive she made is broken:
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now She told me that squeeze ran without an error, so I tried to make an archive to the already full pendrive. It flashed the progress window, then exited without an error, just created a file of 0 bytes. Tried the same with a half-full other pendrive, the results are the same: the disk is filled with a broken archive and no error is reported. 100% reproducible. I invoked squeeze by right clicking on the directory and picked 'Create archive...' from the menu in Thunar. If I ran squeeze directly, the result is basically the same: File/New, set the archive name on the pendrive, then Action/Add : no error is given, a 0 byte archive is created. This bug is rather painful because the disk with the user directory crashed since then... -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages squeeze depends on: ii exo-utils 0.3.106-1 Utility files for libexo ii libatk1.0-0 1.28.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.8.8-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.82-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexo-0.3-0 0.3.106-1 Library with extensions for Xfce ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-4.2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.11-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.3-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.18.3-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.1-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libthunar-vfs-1-2 1.0.1-2 VFS abstraction used in thunar ii libxfce4util4 4.6.1-1 Utility functions library for Xfce ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 compression library - runtime squeeze recommends no packages. squeeze suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
