Created attachment 525144 [details, diff] Patch cherry picked from upstream fixes the reported bug. app-arch/afio-2.5.1 introduced a bug in their control file handling. (Control files are a feature of afio that allow metadata to be included in an archive. Users can write a "control script" to react to that metadata when the archive is unpacked.) If control files are added to an archive, afio-2.5.1-r1 erroneously displays a warning (ASX no fsname for this name ??) and eventually returns a non-zero result, even though the archive is correctly built. flexbackup (and probably other tools that use afio) interprets this as a backup that cannot be trusted. The attached patch was cherry picked from the afio upstream where the bug was already fixed (but not yet released). A patch to the afio-2.5.1-r1 ebuild to apply the new patch is also included.
Created attachment 525146 [details, diff] Patch to ebuild to apply the new patch.
