Bug Description

Binary package hint: dpkg

I can't find this reported, in any state (closed/open/wontfix/etc.). Are the official Karmic maintainers for xz-utils aware of this sucker?

"XZ Utils 4.999.9beta was released on 2009-08-27. Among many less important changes, this release fixes a data corruption in the compression code."
-- http://tukaani.org/xz/

I'm assuming the bug's present, else the rev would simpy have been bumped to 4.999... Ⅸ. Yes?
