Package: debian-el
Version: 26.4-1
Severity: normal

When I switched from my formerly preferred iso-latin-1 language environment
to a utf-8 one, deb-view-dired-view suddenly stopped working.  Now the
*.deb-DATA buffer is always empty on both emacs21 and emacs-snapshot.  The
following log is left in the *Messages* buffer in emacs-snapshot:

deb-view processing deb file debian-el_26.4-1_all.deb...
Parsing tar file...done
deb-view processing deb file debian-el_26.4-1_all.deb...
Parsing tar file...
Warning: premature EOF parsing tar file
File mode specification error: (end-of-buffer)

If debug-on-error is enabled, that changes to

deb-view processing deb file debian-el_26.4-1_all.deb...
Parsing tar file...done
deb-view processing deb file debian-el_26.4-1_all.deb...
Parsing tar file...
Warning: premature EOF parsing tar file
tar-mode: End of buffer

The debugger is not invoked, though. :-( Widening the *.deb-DATA buffer
with "C-x n w" shows the message

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format

there.  To reproduce this, start emacs -q, type

M-x prefer-coding-system <RET> utf-8 <RET>

and load some *.deb file in dired.
