issue resolved, looks like rsync does not make exact copies. When using tar (not from busybox, the real one) it works.

Hi :)

Where to get the GNU tar from ? (running 2006 november release here)
When i try to fetch it from one of the repos present into my actual sources.list, apt wants to remove more than a 100 packages.

Giving a try to a tar binary extracted from Debian arm package i might be going into some busybox/PATH weirdness where the extracted binary is not found :

Code:

/home/user # dpkg -x ./tar_1.15.1_arm.deb ./toto

/home/user # ./toto/bin/tar

/bin/sh: ./toto/bin/tar: not found

/home/user # ls -l ./toto/bin/tar

-rwxrwxr-x    1 1000     1000       194452 Apr  2  2006 ./toto/bin/tar

/home/user #

Thanks for your help...

PS : I would like to try circumventing rsync issue i have experienced too on some sites (eg. www.n700.net).

get it from repository but do not install it.

# apt-get -d install tar

should download it to /var/cache/apt/archives but not install (try to ignore those scary warnings).

Or copy it from scratchbox arm target.

It worked :)
Didn't remember apt-get wouldn't remove it all when invoked in "download only" mode, thanks...

And THANKS for your work on all the goodies for the N770 :)

What worked? Tar or font in Opera after cloning with tar?

Both :D
- Cloning with tar with similar syntax to the one you mentionned into the bug report
- Then, when using the cloned mmc based OS, i experienced no "fonts as blocks" into www.n770.net

Haven't used the cloned OS a lot since then but so far it seems fine to me.

Thanks again.
