Here are the steps to reproduce with output. Aside from affecting lintian when testing certain packages, this also affects piuparts. $ mkdir test $ tar -czf test.tar.gz test/ $ tar -C /tmp -xzf test.tar.gz tar: test: Cannot utime: No such file or directory tar: test: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors -- Regards, Andres Mejia -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
