  • Re: Jigdo images of Debian 3.1_r8

    From Thomas Schmitt@21:1/5 to All on Fri Dec 13 16:10:01 2024
    Hi,

    Everything is fine EXCEPT three files in debian-31r8-source-2.iso: pool/main/z/zope-quotafolder/zope-quotafolder_0.1.1.orig.tar.gz pool/main/s/sysvbanner/sysvbanner_1.0.orig.tar.gz pool/main/c/cl-md5/cl-md5_1.8.5.orig.tar.gz

    "zope-quotafolder_0.1.1" is a known offender in the archives.
    https://lists.debian.org/debian-68k/2020/05/msg00031.html
    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=779098
    https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2020/10/msg00442.html

    The other two package names did not show up in that context.


    After trying a few other mirrors as suggested, I was able to get sysvbanner_1.0.orig.tar.gz from http://debian.ethz.ch/debian-archive/debian/ [debian.ethz.ch]. No luck with the other two.

    https://lists.debian.org/debian-68k/2020/05/msg00040.html
    points to
    http://archive.debian.org/debian-amd64/pool/main/z/zope-quotafolder
    for the .deb. But there is also a .orig.tar.gz file:
    http://archive.debian.org/debian-amd64/pool/main/z/zope-quotafolder/zope-quotafolder_0.1.1.orig.tar.gz


    * Both versions of cl-md5_1.8.5.orig.tar.gz have identical files. The
    archive seems to have been re-created later with exactly the same files.
    * Both versions of zope-quotafolder_0.1.1.orig.tar.gz have identical files. However, one (from Internet Archive) is a tar.gz inside a tar.gz, not the other.
    * Files from sysvbanner_1.0.orig.tar.gz are almost identical as well: in the file from Debian Archive it's a Makefile and a C source file. In the ISO
    from Internet Archive, it's a text file to be cut to extract the C file, and it's identical to the other one except some spacing and indentation.

    My question is thus: does anyone have any idea why and how this happened?

    Looks like rogue fixing of packaging errors after upload.


    Have a nice day :)
