Bug#685361: busybox bunzip2 chokes on some valid inputs (bunzip error -5)
Package: busybox
Version: 1:1.17.1-8
Severity: important
Example file -- http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.16.1.tar.bz2
Regular bunzip2 decompresses it okay, busybox gives this:
$ busybox bzip2 -t perl-5.16.1.tar.bz2
bzip2: bunzip error -5
Filing this under squeeze version number, -- this is an old bug
which is still present in 1.20 version. I dunno when it started.
The bug is at least important, since it is bad when an archiver
can't decompress some "random" archive, and other stuff start
breaking due to this.
