Package: uucp
Version: 1.07-20
Severity: normal
Tags: lfs
Dear Maintainer,
I move backup files via UUCP between my machines. Recently, one of
the backups got larger than 2 GB. I am not longer able to receive the
file via uupick - smaller files still work.
See this example:
mitch@yggdrasil:~/Backup$ uupick
from merlin: file isolde-poldi-20140406.tar.bz2 ?
m
uupick: stat
(/var/spool/uucppublic/receive/mitch/merlin/isolde-poldi-20140406.tar.bz2):
Value too large for defined data type
mitch@yggdrasil:~/Backup$ stat
/var/spool/uucppublic/receive/mitch/merlin/isolde-poldi-20140406.tar.bz2
File:
`/var/spool/uucppublic/receive/mitch/merlin/isolde-poldi-20140406.tar.bz2'
Size: 2287472681 Blocks: 4467736 IO Block: 4096 regular file

Birth: -
A workaround is to move the file with root privileges and chown it
afterwards. (As this will happen monthly, I should write a small
shell script for moving the file.)
This probably is an upstream bug.
Could this be fixed or forwarded?
Regards
Christian
