.NET 10.0 packages for Debian 13 (Trixie) install successfully but emit W: Unknown TAR header type 120 warnings during installation. This documents the cosmetic nature of these warnings.

Changes

  • Added "Debian 13 packages work but display TAR header warnings" section to release-notes/10.0/known-issues.md
  • Clarified that warnings are cosmetic and don't affect SDK/runtime functionality
  • Referenced Microsoft's Debian installation documentation

Example installation output showing the warnings:

W: Unknown TAR header type 120
W: Unknown TAR header type 120
...

The packages install and function correctly despite these warnings. Fix is in progress.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

  • api0.prismacloud.io
    • Triggering command: /usr/bin/python3 /home/REDACTED/.local/bin/checkov --config-file .checkov.yml --directory . --quiet (dns block)
  • learn.microsoft.com
    • Triggering command: node /home/REDACTED/work/core/core/node_modules/.bin/markdown-link-check --config .github/workflows/markdown-link-check-config.json release-notes/10.0/known-issues.md (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

Original prompt
