Bug#429462: gunzip does not uncompress anymore, breaks dpkg-source

Err, since when are source packages *built* on buildd systems? They are unpacked - which still works with the new version of gzip.

Look at /bin/gunzip, which is a (new) wrapper script provided in upstream replacing what I think was previously a hard link. I believe the path says /usr/bin/gzip but should be /bin/gzip. If that fixes your problem, I will update the package and make another upload. Bdale -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Look at /bin/gunzip, which is a (new) wrapper script provided in upstream replacing what I think was previously a hard link. I believe Indeed. That's the reason. gzip -d file still works fine. The gunzip wrapper script doesn't. the path says /usr/bin/gzip but should be /bin/gzip. If that fixes your problem, I will update the package and make another upload. Thanks.

Bug#429462: gunzip does not uncompress anymore, breaks dpkg-source
Package: gzip Version: 1.3.12-2 Severity: grave I'm sorry to report but the new version of gzip breaks dpkg-source in sid and thus cannot be used for package building anymore. dpkg-source -b package-version gives: dpkg-source: failure: tar -xkf - gave error exit status 2 tar: Archive is compressed. Use -z option tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now The reason is that gunzip does not uncompress a stream anymore. This is with 1.3.12-2: finlandia!joey(tty6):/tmp/work/test/z gunzip ../manpages_2.52.orig.tar.gz | cat - out finlandia!joey(tty6):/tmp/work/test/z file out out: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Sun Jun 17 16:21:30 2007 finlandia!joey(tty6):/tmp/work/test/z cat ../manpages_2.52.orig.tar.gz | gunzip out finlandia!joey(tty6):/tmp/work/test/z file out out: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Mon Jun 18 11:21:15 2007 This is with the older version 1.3.9-2: finlandia!joey(tty6):/tmp/work/test/z gunzip ../manpages_2.52.orig.tar.gz out.tar finlandia!joey(tty6):/tmp/work/test/z file out.tar out.tar: POSIX tar archive (GNU) finlandia!joey(tty6):/tmp/work/test/z cat ../manpages_2.52.orig.tar.gz | gunzip out.tar finlandia!joey(tty6):/tmp/work/test/z file out.tar out.tar: POSIX tar archive (GNU) Please pass this upstream and restore the old behaviour.
