Package: gzip
Version: 1.3.12-2
Severity: grave
I'm sorry to report but the new version of gzip breaks dpkg-source in
sid and thus cannot be used for package building anymore.
dpkg-source -b package-version gives:
dpkg-source: failure: tar -xkf - gave error exit status 2
tar: Archive is compressed. Use -z option
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
The reason is that gunzip does not uncompress a stream anymore.
This is with 1.3.12-2:
finlandia!joey(tty6):/tmp/work/test/z> gunzip < ../manpages_2.52.orig.tar.gz |
cat - > out
finlandia!joey(tty6):/tmp/work/test/z> file out
out: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Sun Jun 17 16:21:30 2007
finlandia!joey(tty6):/tmp/work/test/z> cat ../manpages_2.52.orig.tar.gz |
gunzip > out
finlandia!joey(tty6):/tmp/work/test/z> file out
out: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Mon Jun 18 11:21:15 2007
This is with the older version 1.3.9-2:
finlandia!joey(tty6):/tmp/work/test/z> gunzip < ../manpages_2.52.orig.tar.gz >
out.tar
finlandia!joey(tty6):/tmp/work/test/z> file out.tar
out.tar: POSIX tar archive (GNU)
finlandia!joey(tty6):/tmp/work/test/z> cat ../manpages_2.52.orig.tar.gz |
gunzip > out.tar
finlandia!joey(tty6):/tmp/work/test/z> file out.tar
out.tar: POSIX tar archive (GNU)
Please pass this upstream and restore the old behaviour.
(And as a workaround, changing the inner working of dpkg-source may
be adequate as well.)
Regards,
Joey
