DetailsWhen building yaourt0.10-1, I noticed that makepkg randomly replaces some files with zeroes.
After running makepkg in the extracted AUR tarball, some files in both $pkgdir and the resulting package consisted of only zeroes (binary zeroes, not ASCII). All files in $srcdir were checked and found ok (ASCII .sh files). In the attached testcase, this happened to alpm_backup.sh and alpm_query.sh in pkg/usr/lib/yaourt, but with every following run of makepkg -sif, other files in this directory were affected. I'm not quite sure which further information is necessary, so feel free to ask. Versions: pacman 3.5.1-1 |

I've now also run a simple test where I would copy one of the files in $srcdir manually with /bin/cp a thousand times, and none of the resulting files were corrupted.
