From: anthraxx <anthr...@archlinux.org> bsdtar doesn't like it when the stream gets closed before it finishes which may be the case when grep found its match on potentially huge archives. Instead of suppressing the whole strerr , we just pipe the output through cat which ensures the stream remains open for bsdtar but we may still catch and see useful messages on stderr. --- db-functions | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
