Package: tar Version: 1.20-1+lenny1 Severity: important Since the package update in lenny a few days ago, my automatic backups to a remote system, which are using tar --rsh-command=\/usr\/bin\/ssh, started to run forever. Also a manual execution of: tar -c -f 'u...@example.com:backup.tgz' --rsh-command=\/usr\/bin\/ssh -z '/home' -vvvvvv only prints a few lines (the first 4 files or so) and stops doing anything after that. (but still runs until one breaks it with ctrl+c).
Downgrading the package to this version: http://snapshot.debian.org/package/tar/1.20-1/#tar_1.20-1 on the remote system solved the problem, and the backups work again. So I believe the problem has something to do with the changes made to the rmt command in the update. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages tar depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18lenny4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries tar recommends no packages.
