dpkg issue with lzma

[Igor Kozhukhov <igor@dilos.org>]

Hi Guillem, All,

i have often issue with my builds on SPARC similar to:

02:53:00.547 dpkg-deb: building package 'gcc-6-libgcj-tools' in '../gcc-6-libgcj-tools_6.3.0-2-15_solaris-sparc.deb'.
02:53:00.547 	dpkg-deb --build debian/gcc-6-libgo ..
02:53:00.555 dpkg-deb: building package 'gcc-6-libgcj' in '../gcc-6-libgcj_6.3.0-2-15_solaris-sparc.deb'.

02:53:00.555 dpkg-deb: building package 'gcc-6-libgij' in '../gcc-6-libgij_6.3.0-2-15_solaris-sparc.deb'.
02:53:00.555 dpkg-deb: building package 'gcc-6-libgo' in '../gcc-6-libgo_6.3.0-2-15_solaris-sparc.deb'.
02:53:00.556 dpkg-deb: building package 'gcc-6' in '../gcc-6_6.3.0-2-15_solaris-sparc.deb'.

02:58:00.412 debian/rules:139: recipe for target 'binary-arch' failed

issue is:

dpkg-deb (subprocess): compressing tar member: lzma error: Not enough space

I have SPARC 64bit sun4v T5220 with 32GB RAM & 64 threads.

i have a lot of RAM + swap available.

i’m using dpkg 1.18.18.

i have found info about this issue:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=846564

I have no issue on Intel 64bits - allworks fine, but it failed often on SPARC and i should to use gzip compression instead, by command:

dh_builddeb -a -- -Zgzip

could you please let me know if you need more/additional info.

best regards,

-Igor
