Description Sander Vermin 2018-09-07 11:55:29 UTC
Description of problem:
building deb package with the latest version of dpkg-deb fails because it requires --clamp-mtime from tar, which is not supported by the current version of tar in Centos 7 (fully update to today).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

dpkg 1.18.25-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
build a deb with latest version.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dpkg-deb --build $deb_folder

Actual results:
error:
dpkg-deb: building package '<PACKAGE NAME>' in '<PACKAGE NAME>.deb'.
tar: unrecognized option '--clamp-mtime'
Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
dpkg-deb: error: failed to write filename to tar pipe (control member): Broken pipe


Expected results:
working <PACKAGE NAME>.deb file created

Additional info:
Downgrading to version 1.17.27-1.el7.x86_64 solves the problem.
