Source: zsync Version: 0.6.2-7 Severity: serious Downloading any zsync file causes a file with a mangled name and contents to appear, in addition to a .part file which also has incorrect contents (but correct size):
# zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/noble/daily/current/noble-base-amd64.tar.gz.zsync #################### 100.0% 0 Bps DONE No relevent local data found - I will be downloading the whole file. If that's not what you want, CTRL-C out. You should specify the local file is the old version of the file to download with -i (you might have to decompress it with gzip -d first). Or perhaps you just have no data that helps download the file downloading from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/noble/daily/current/noble-base-amd64.tar.gz: #################### 100.0% DONE 0:01 failed to retrieve from noble-base-amd64.tar.gz Aborting, download available in noble-base-amd64.tar.gz.part verifying download... # ls -lh total 315M -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 315M Apr 16 08:03 ' a'$'\227\306\333''y' -rw------- 1 root root 29M Apr 16 08:03 noble-base-amd64.tar.gz.part # for f in *; do sha256sum "$f"; done 56499760b7f78ee5f7ff188abfc73d00fe35563506a42ff31edeb280716c9c4a ' a'$'\227\306\333''y' fb20e04f04a0fe6454974c267a347eca304e8586b02197dfd9efb8d114fd9040 noble-base-amd64.tar.gz 3058559090ef6ee374a85bfff0903aa38ecb4d644283ccc7def566be958a3a15 noble-base-amd64.tar.gz.part Where noble-base-amd64.tar.gz is a known-good download, so the contents of both files generated by zsync are incorrect. A revert to 0.6.2-6 fixes the problem.
