Try: md5sum $orig_tarball_from_pristine_Tar vs md5sum $orig_tarball_recreated_from_the_upstream_branch While the /contents/ of the tarball are identical, the tarball is not bit-by-bit the same as the original. However, it needs to be in order to be accepted by dak for follow-up uploads, as it can't ensure changes are in meta data only. As far as I know, the delta in pristine-tar is mainly to ensure file ordering, permissions and time stamps. -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D
