Package: piuparts
Version: 0.41
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

piuparts creates a temp_tgz if a distupgrade test is performed without
giving a tarball. But this tarball is not used to restore the system,
instead debootstrap is run a second time.

A patch series fixing this is available in

    git://github.com/anbe42/piuparts.git fix/temp_tgz-handling

Andreas Beckmann (5):
      exclude /tmp/scripts from tarball
      use tar --one-file-system
      add remove_temp_tgz_file() method
      limit the scope the temp_tgz exists
      restore initial chroot from temp_tgz

The first two patches are independent, but fix some other mis-behaviour of 
tarball creation.


Andreas
