#29049 closed defect (fixed)

dpkg-deb still can not build packages with OSX Tar

Reported by: teejay87@… Owned by: landonf (Landon Fuller)

Port: dpkg

Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))

I've dpkg 1.14.29_2 installed with macports, as long as the latest gnutar.

Despite this, I'm still experimenting the error described here (ticket:27702)

No way to bulid a dpkg package. I had to use Ubuntu to do that.

Any ideas?

If it still uses "tar" rather than "gnutar", then you missed a spot in your patch perhaps ?

comment:2 Changed 13 years ago by teejay87@…

I didn't compiled it on my Mac, Ijust installed it from MacPorts.

_2 release should be already patched...

Sorry, I'm really new to MacPorts Wiki

Version: 1.9.2

Sorry about the "you" confusion. Anyway, it would be weird to encounter the exact same problem that was patched out earlier. So it's likely that this is something else, but you would need to attach the actual error you get...

I get exactly the same error you can see in the other ticket. Looks like dpkg still uses the wrong tar.

The patch only changed argv[0], not the actual program path...
