Package: aptly Version: 0.8-3 Severity: important Tags: jessie stretch sid X-Debbugs-CC: debian-d...@lists.debian.org
Dear maintainer, Current aptly cannot handle deb packages built using dpkg (>= 1.19.0~) since the new deb files now use "control.tar.xz" instead of "control.tar.gz". The root cause is that dpkg-deb (>= 1.19.0~) now enables "--uniform-compression" by default. This bug is already reported upstream: https://github.com/smira/aptly/issues/655 This bug is pretty serious since all new packages built on new Debian-based systems will not be compatible with aptly. I will keep tracking this bug and raise severity when upstream releases the fix. CC-ing debian-dpkg maillist to make dpkg staff aware of this side-effect. We could expect that other Debian archive management tools break as well. Regards, Boyuan Yang
