Hi,

I was experiencing some problems unpacking a tarball just because the file
was packed in a 64bit machine and I was unpacking in a 32bit machine. The
problem is that gnu tar always said

 tar: Skipping to next header
> tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
>

And one week and lots of Google searches later I've found that the
architecture mismatch caused the problem.

Why it can't tell me that there is a possibility that the file was packed in
a different architecture?

Thanks.
