Package: cpio
Version: 2.6-11
Severity: important
This may be a dup of bug #358990, but I don't think so. #358990
describes a bug in "cpio -o". I think this is a bug in "cpio -i".
Briefly:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$> cd /; (echo .; echo etc; echo lost+found) | cpio -o -H
ustar | cpio -itv
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2501907082 Mar 8 1913

cpio: invalid header: checksum error
cpio: warning: skipped 138 bytes of junk
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4274001609 May 3 1969 lost+found/
5 blocks
Feeding cpio any 3 consecutive directories will trigger the bug.
tar is happy with the same archive, which is why I think it is
a bug in "cpio -i".
