Created attachment 357622 [details]
file which shows the data corruption bug.

Description of problem:
xz decompresses certain files incorrectly, corrupting the data by failing to extract the last few bytes of data.

0.7.beta.fc11

How reproducible:
Very, with the right file.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. zcat RA000864.bin.gz >RA000864.bin
2. xz RA000864.bin
3. xz -t RA000864.bin.xz

Actual results:
xz: RA000864.bin.xz: Compressed data is corrupt

Expected results:
The file is successfully verified.

Comment 7 Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2009-08-18 16:17:23 UTC
jnovy: Should we update the xz used by the buildsystem?

Comment 8 Jindrich Novy 2009-08-19 08:31:04 UTC
Definitely, possible corruption of package payload doesn't look too good from the buildsystem POV.

Comment 9 jonathan.stott 2009-08-19 08:48:25 UTC
I've tested the new package in testing on my fedora system and it does now successfully compress and decompress the problem file.  Thanks for the quick response!
