fsarchiver-0.6.8: bug in restfs when partition too small

[Francois Dupoux]

Binary package hint: fsarchiver

fsarchiver-0.6.8 does not handle the following error properly:
When you restore an archive to a partition which is too small to store all its data
the ENOSPC error is not handled properly. The program considers this is an
error with the current file and continues instead of reporting a fatal error and stopping.

There is a patch on the official website to fix that problem:
http://patches.fsarchiver.org/fsarchiver-0.6.8-03-restore-error-handling.patch

Marking fix released because Maverick has 0.6.10 which has this bug fixed.

Debdiff attached to bug 585103.
