Hi Tim, Here's some more info on libarchive for you. Hope this helps.

--- Begin Message ---So I've been trying to look into this problem by trying builds under different conditions on an amd64 lenny chroot (kernel 2.6.17-2-amd64). Have tried both gcc-4.1 and gcc-4.2 with optimizations on and off, and even tried installing the exact versions of every single package mentioned in that buildd log. I get the same failure every time (and it is different from the one seen in that log): ======== Running tests on: /home/paul/packages/libarchive-2.4.17/bsdtar 0: test_basic tar/test/test_basic.c:53: Assertion failed: Ints not equal r=256 0=0 Description: Error invoking /home/paul/packages/libarchive-2.4.17/bsdtar xf archive *** forcing core dump so failure can be debugged *** /bin/sh: line 4: 1328 Segmentation fault LIBARCHIVE_TEST_FILES=`cd .;/bin/pwd` BSDTAR=`cd .;/bin/pwd`/bsdtar BSDTAR_TEST_FILES=`cd .;/bin/pwd` BSDCPIO=`cd .;/bin/pwd`/bsdcpio BSDCPIO_TEST_FILES=`cd .;/bin/pwd` ${dir}$tst FAIL: bsdtar_test ======== I can't seem to find in the buildd log what kernel it's using, or I'd try duplicating that as well.
