Although out-of-place tar deletion undoubtedly is more robust than in-place deletion, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a bug, too. (which is really bad for Debian infrastructure, so we should identify/fix this). Can you reproduce the problem with: $ cat tango-9.3.3-rc2.tar | tar --delete <filespec-to-delete> > \ tango-9.3.3-rc2-excluded.tar ? Cheers and Best Regards, -- Felix Natter debian/rules!
