As described here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485538#c4 uploading/downloading the file then comparing it to the original shows the copy to be identical to the original with the exception that it is about twice as big and is padded with zeroes. Compare with the PDF file uploaded here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326617#c1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download the file[1] from bugs.kde.org 2. Upload it in a bug report on bugs.gentoo.org 3. Download the bugs.gentoo.org file[2] Actual Results: -"ls -sh1 [1] [2]" shows [2] is 256K to [1]'s 140K -"xxd [1] > 1.xxd; xxd [2] > 2.xxd; head -n $(wc -l 1.xxd) 2.xxd > 2.cut.xxd; diff 1.xxd 2.cut.xxd" shows the second file to be identical to 1.xxd up to the end of 1.xxd (there's an extra 0000 on the last line of 2.xxd). The rest of 2.xxd is only 0000 Expected Results: The files are identical
I fetch from both sources and the file is identical at 139422 bytes. What are you using to download?
Ben: I just found another corrupted PDF on my computer. The file was never uploaded to Gentoo's bugzilla. It seems the bug is either my hard drive (that's pretty alarming) or firefox (as both files were downloaded through firefox). Therefore, this bug is invalid. Thanks for looking into it nevertheless.
