Hi, I think I have encountered a bug in tar (please correct me if I'm wrong):
Using $ tar xf FILE.tar where FILE contains colons (in my case, FILE contained the time in HH:MM:SS) does not seem to work. My file has in summary been generated through $ tar folder | bzip2 -c > FILE.tar.bz2) I actually tried tar xjf FILE.tar.bz2 , but the bzip is not the point, its tar who has difficulties. I am using Debian GNU/Linux lenny $ tar --version tar (GNU tar) 1.19 Greets, Felix Riemann
