Package: bup Version: 0.25-1 Severity: serious Dear Maintainer,
Here's a transcript of a session to illustrate the problem: renn:/tmp$ mkdir test renn:/tmp$ echo xxx>test/xxx renn:/tmp$ bup -d test.bup init Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/test.bup/ renn:/tmp$ bup -d test.bup index /tmp/test Indexing: 2, done. renn:/tmp$ bup -d test.bup save -n t1 /tmp/test Reading index: 2, done. Saving: 100.00% (4/4k, 2/2 files), done. bloom: creating from 1 file (8 objects). renn:/tmp$ bup -d test.bup ls t1/ renn:/tmp$ bup -d test.bup ls t1 2016-11-14-132249@ latest@ renn:/tmp$ bup -d test.bup join t1 | tar tf - tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors The command `bup -d test.bup join t1` should send a tar file to stdout; what is being sent looks a bit like one, but obviously isn't quite. I have marked this as "serious" because I believe this is the only way to directly restore a remote backup. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages bup depends on: ii git 1:2.1.4-2.1+deb8u2 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u6 ii par2 0.6.11-1 ii python 2.7.9-1 ii python-pylibacl 0.5.2-1 ii python-pyxattr 0.5.3-1 ii python2.7 2.7.9-2+deb8u1 pn python:any <none> Versions of packages bup recommends: ii bup-doc 0.25-1 ii python-fuse 2:0.2.1-10 ii python-tornado 4.2.0-1~bpo8+1 bup suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- John
