+From: Scott Anderson <o2e@saaworld.com>
+Subject: ipkg-utils: Make arfile.py handle six digit UIDs
+    
+    Essentially, the problem is that arfile.py is splitting the ar header with
+    white-space instead of fixed-width fields, so two fields would get treated
+    as a single field.  This makes things better than before as it now honors
+    the fixed field widths.
+    
+Upsteam-status: Pending (there is no upstream after openmoko imploded)
