I rebuilt python-native for you: NOTE: package python-native-2.5.1-ml1: task do_patch: started NOTE: Applying patch 'bindir-libdir.patch' NOTE: Applying patch 'cross-distutils.patch' NOTE: Applying patch 'dont-modify-shebang-line.patch' NOTE: Applying patch 'default-is-optimized.patch' NOTE: package python-native-2.5.1-ml1: task do_patch: completed Anyway, as you see, it's not some dark magic failing, but merely a patch application. So, why don't you look closer and see what corrupts the data - your tar, a quilt built on your system, or your kernel? ;-) And the best place to continue this is the bugtracker. -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmiscml@gmail.com
