Description Robert Scheck 2006-09-30 12:26:08 UTC 
Description of problem:
Using tar downgrade (with bumped Epoch) from Rawhide of today:

# rpmbuild -ba pam.spec
Ausführung(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.5285
+ umask 022
+ cd /usr/src/rpm/BUILD
+ LANG=C
+ export LANG
+ unset DISPLAY
+ cd /usr/src/rpm/BUILD
+ rm -rf Linux-PAM-0.99.6.2
+ /usr/bin/bzip2 -dc /usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/Linux-PAM-0.99.6.2.tar.bz2
+ tar -xf -
+ STATUS=0
+ '[' 0 -ne 0 ']'
+ cd Linux-PAM-0.99.6.2
+ /usr/bin/bzip2 -dc /usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/pam-redhat-0.99.6-2.tar.bz2
+ tar -xf -
+ STATUS=0
+ '[' 0 -ne 0 ']'
+ /bin/gzip -dc /usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/db-4.3.29.tar.gz
+ tar -xf -
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.5285: line 43: 16565 Done                    /bin/gzip -dc /
usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/db-4.3.29.tar.gz
     16566 Segmentation fault      | tar -xf -
Fehler: Fehler-Status beim Beenden von /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.5285 (%prep)


Fehler beim Bauen des RPMS:
    Fehler-Status beim Beenden von /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.5285 (%prep)
# 

And when switching back to tar-1.15.91-1, everything works fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tar-1.15.1-17

How reproducible:
Everytime, see above.

Actual results:
Tar downgrade causes segmentation fault

Expected results:
Either a fix or a tar upgrade... ;-)
