Package: cpio Version: 2.11-4 Severity: critical Tags: d-i Justification: causes serious data loss
The behavoir of this two invocations of cpio is different, yet they should produce the same output: cd /; find / -mount -print | cpio -pvdum /mydisk/dir (incorrect output) cd /; find . -mount -print | cpio -pvdum /mydisk/dir (correct output) In the first case, it destroys the previously existing directory "dir" and writes to a file named "dir". The second case works as expected. In my system this is an easy to reproduce error. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.7 APT prefers oldstable-updates APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable-proposed-updates'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=es_UY.utf8, LC_CTYPE=es_UY.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages cpio depends on: ii dpkg 1.15.8.13 Debian package management system ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-6 Manage installed documentation in ii libc6 2.11.3-4 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib cpio recommends no packages. cpio suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
