When upgrading to 14.1.4 and then to 14.1.5, I was bombarded with the following messages indicating the .tar.xz files have some issue:
Messages for package trinity-base/kcheckpass-14.1.5:
tar extract command failed at least partially - continuing anyway
Messages for package trinity-base/tdm-14.1.5:
tar extract command failed at least partially - continuing anyway
Messages for package trinity-base/kdesktop-14.1.5:
tar extract command failed at least partially - continuing anyway
This happens for all the TDE core packages (but not for k3b). I don't remember whether it was an issue with versions before 14.1.4. It would just be a mildly irritating bit of log spam except for one thing: one of my machines is behind a corporate firewall that I do not control, and it *hates* compressed files it can't open and inspect. So I have to move the files to it via sneakernet.
Is whatever method is being used to create these files adding trailing garbage or something?

Hi E. Liddell,
I tested the tarball as I have it on my archive, i.e. the mirroring source - it unpacked without any problems. I downloaded the tarball from the automatically selected mirror (in my case from Germany) and compared it with my original - there are no differences reported there. Can you verify if there is a match in sha512sum for the tarball you obtained?
The script create_tarball is used to create tarballs, which you can see in the GIT repository "scripts". Nothing unexpected is added there. The only thing special there is to ensure reproducibility of tarball creation.
In any case, I am very concerned that there is some corruption during the download. Could it be due to the size of the tarball? For example, in applications there are also large tarballs for koffice and koffice translations. Do you also observe the problem on those?
