I am a little bit surprised that this bug has low importance. It can cause a lot of trouble!
I can confirm that the bug is fixed in cpio 2.11. But Ubuntu 10.04 is still shipped with 2.10 - strange! With cpio 2.10 there is a workaround. Just extract or copy/pass everything twice. The second run fixes the dropped ownerships and access times. -- cpio 2.9 drops directory permissions and ownership https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214942 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
