Thanks a lot for reporting the issue.

Binary files were corrupted during the UTF-8 conversion of the database.

I replaced old files from the backup I made at that time.


I checked the files you mentioned and they now correcly untar. Please post a comment if you find another file that you think was impacted by this.

I also checked for other kinds of binary data in the database, and didn't find any other, so the issue should be fixed now.

We've observed it multiple times now that old attachments
of bug and patch trackers only contain garbage anymore.
As these are usually compressed files, their contents is
completely lost for the project.

I first observed this in the following patch tracker:

https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=4087

See the audit-trail.  As the originator resubmitted the
patch, I deleted the original defunct attachment.

Now, another developer observed similar in:

https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=13330
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=12739

Here, the original defunct attachments have still been
retained.
