Hi, If you extract data.tar.gz from the above mentioned .deb, and then run the busybox version of zcat -t on it, it complains of bad CRC and bad length. It does unpack ok. The problem seems to be that it consumes one byte too much of the input stream, so the last 8 bytes, which should be crc and length, are shifted one byte, and the test fails. I spent all morning trying to find an ia64 problem here, but it turns out that i386 busybox zcat doesn't like this particular data.tar.gz file either. A normal zcat is quite happy with it. If I rebuild the deb myself, the data.tar.gz comes out a different size, and everything is happy with it.
Luckily busybox zcat doesn't treat this a problem, and still returns success, so I guess I can live with it for now. Richard
