Hello Razvan,

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this exact issue on my setup. Which OS
are you using?


Nevertheless, on my PostgreSQL Spacewalk nightly on RHEL6, akonadi
package (from [1]) fails to upload as well. The cause is that akonadi
package is archived with lzma compression.

    # strings akonadi-dbg_1.3.1-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb | grep data
    data.tar.lzma   1271183373  0     0     100644  3199804

While the python-debian-0.1.16-4.el6.noarch from @epel does support only
gz and bz2 compressions.

The minimal reproducer was:

    from debian.debfile import DebFile
    x = DebFile("akonadi-dbg_1.3.1-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb")
