Package: pristine-tar Version: 1.37 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I need to commit a tarball that is containing content with German umlauts within the kicad source package. The following error message is displayed while running pristine-tar: carsten@stretch:~/gitprojects/kicad [debian/sid] $ pristine-tar commit ../kicad_4.0.4+dfsg1.orig-libraries.tar.xz tar: libraries/Shielding_Cabinets.pretty/W\303\274rth_36503505_50x50mm.kicad_mod: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: libraries/Shielding_Cabinets.pretty/W\303\274rth_36503605_60x60mm.kicad_mod: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: libraries/Shielding_Cabinets.pretty/W\303\274rth_36103605_60x60mm.kicad_mod: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: libraries/Shielding_Cabinets.pretty/W\303\274rth_36103305_30x30mm.kicad_mod: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: libraries/Shielding_Cabinets.pretty/W\303\274rth_36103255_25x25mm.kicad_mod: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: libraries/Shielding_Cabinets.pretty/W\303\274rth_36503255_25x25mm.kicad_mod: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: libraries/Shielding_Cabinets.pretty/W\303\274rth_36103505_50x50mm.kicad_mod: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: libraries/Shielding_Cabinets.pretty/W\303\274rth_36503205_20x20mm.kicad_mod: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: libraries/Shielding_Cabinets.pretty/W\303\274rth_36103205_20x20mm.kicad_mod: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: libraries/Shielding_Cabinets.pretty/W\303\274rth_36503305_30x30mm.kicad_mod: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors pristine-tar: command failed: tar cf /tmp/pristine-tar._jMTmr7ZiQ/recreatetarball --owner 0 --group 0 --numeric-owner -C /tmp/pristine-tar._jMTmr7ZiQ/workdir --no-recursion --mode 0644 --files-from /tmp/pristine-tar._jMTmr7ZiQ/manifest This happens on files that containing a 'ü' character.

The following umlauts are using those UTF8 sequences. I haven't test other umlauts but I expects the same behavior. String = \Escapesequence+\Octalvalue Ä = \303\204 Ö = \303\226 Ü = \303\234 ä = \303\244 ü = \303\274 ö = \303\266 ß = \303\237 Regards Carsten -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, armhf Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages pristine-tar depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-8 ii libc6 2.23-5 ii perl 5.22.2-3 ii tar 1.29b-1 ii xdelta 1.1.3-9.1 ii xdelta3 3.0.11-dfsg-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages pristine-tar recommends: ii bzip2 1.0.6-8 ii pbzip2 1.1.9-1 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2.1 pristine-tar suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
