Hello,
CPIO is still not fixed in Debian (tested on sid). Checksum errors still
occurs on cpio archives, amd64.
Upstream patch (applied on git but never released, as cpio 2.11 is
pretty old) can be found there :
http://git.gnu.org.ua/gitweb?p=cpio.git;a=commitdiff;h=refs/heads/master
Demo, first on a debian sid host, then in a chroot containing cpio with
patch applied :
debian-ltop:/share/src/0linux/paquets/x86_64/base# cpio -i
--only-verify-crc < gcc-4.7.3-x86_64-4.spack
cpio: files.xz: erreur sur la somme de contrôle (0x17026091c, devrait
être 0x7026091c).

*.spack are just cpio archives (package format for a homemade distro).
The checksum error appears on relatively big archives. You may test
those archives here (the biggest ones, like 'gcc' or 'linux') :

This bug is a blocker when cpio calls are embedded into scripts.
Thanks,
