The kernel is: 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP Tue Dec 5 22:28:26 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
I have also the same results on amd64. (Ubuntu 6.10 for both of the above) I've attached a simple file which causes the problem to occur. It was created by simply creating a directory ".test", and creating an archive from it (i.e. "tar fcz tst.tgz .test" ). ** Attachment added: "sample archive which exhibits problem" http://librarian.launchpad.net/6338083/tst.tgz -- error reported when all top-level files in an archive are hidden (dot) files https://launchpad.net/bugs/81087 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
