yes please provide a patch , I will review it Thanks hum --clamp-mtime should not be there ! , it already should be removed by this patch [1]. I will investigate more tomorrow [1] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/dpkg/blob/epel7/f/dpkg-clamp-mtime.patch A patch removing --sort=name will conflict with your patch removing --clamp-mtime. So either you do both, or I'll post mine after you commit yours. Or I'll send a patch removing both :) Created attachment 1608087 [details]
patch removing --sort=name options from tar invocation
err , --sort was introduced also just in tar version 1.28 , I will think what is the best solution bundled tar 1.28 or still try user tar 1.27 from el7 . What do you think , we can live with tar without sort or not ? Thanks for the report . Sorting is just a nice-to-have, I don't think there is any problem in not sorting. Ping?

Description of problem: When dpkg builds a package, it calls gtar --sort, but the version of tar supplied in RHEL 7 / CentOS 7 does not provide this option. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dpkg-1.18.25-8.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use dpkg-deb to build a package Actual results: Crash due to gtar not accepting the --sort option. Expected results: Built package. Additional info: The offending call is in scripts/Dpkg/Source/Archive.pm: $spawn_opts{exec} = [ $Dpkg::PROGTAR, '-cf', '-', '--format=gnu', '--sort=name', '--mtime', "\@$mtime", '--clamp-mtime', '--null', '--numeric-owner', '--owner=0', '--group=0', @{$opts{options}}, '-T', '-' ]; It can be solved by just dropping that option. I can provide a patch if needed.
