Strange dd failure makes latest dpkg FTBFS
Hi!
Just uploaded a dpkg release yesterday, with only translation updates
and an arch definition, and it failed on the hurd-i386 buildd. The
relevant part is:
,---
../../../src/at/deb-format.at:403:

dd if=/dev/zero of=data.tar.bad bs=1K count=4 status=none

dpkg-deb -c pkg-data-bad.deb

I tried the same dd command on exodar in a sid schroot, and it seems
to work there, also just built dpkg there too (my hurd-i386 box got
damaged due to a system crash and have had no time to recover it) and
it seems to build fine there:

So perhaps there's something wrong on ironforge? But I assume that would
have shown other packages failing.
Thanks,
Guillem
