--- Begin Message ---Package: tla Version: 1.3.3-3 Severity: serious Justification: no longer builds from source Since the current development archive of tla can only be accessed with tla version >= 1.3.2 I tried to backport 1.3.3-2 to sarge. The build went fine but the tests failed with an apparent tar error: ======= TESTING: undo ======= Test 1: undoing single file modification tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header This is the same bug that is dexcribed on: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-arch-users/2004-02/msg00122.html and the solution is described on: https://launchpad.net/products/bazaar/+bug/235 which shows that a simple patch to the file tla-1.3.3/src/tla/tests/test-framework can fix the problem.
