Bug#702545: lintian: add check for broken gzip compressed files
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.10.4
Severity: wishlist
It would be nice if lintian could report about broken gzip files. The
following command can be used to achieve this (on an unpacked binary
package):
find -type f -iname \*.gz -print0 | xargs --no-run-if-empty --null gzip --test
As of this report about 70 files (from sid main amd64+all) are affected
by this issue. The list below shows files with .gz extension for which
decompression failed. This list therefore overlaps with the existing tag
gz-file-not-gzip. For example the file from abinit-doc is actually a zip
file.
