Hi, not sure it'll help but I've got the same behavior with the gnutar shipped with lion.
gnutar version : tar (GNU tar) 1.17 so does the fink version tar --version: tar (GNU tar) 1.26 but the bsdtar works fine on that file bsdtar 2.8.3 - libarchive 2.8.3 Djamé Le 16 janv. 2014 à 15:12, Charles Lepple a écrit : > Just thought I'd throw this out there for the archives, or in case anyone > else has seen something similar. > > I'm attempting to package > http://search.cpan.org/~nwiger/CGI-FormBuilder-3.09/ and I get the following > at the unpack stage: > > env LANG=C LC_ALL=C /sw.lion/bin/tar --no-same-owner --no-same-permissions > -xvf /Users/clepple/Downloads/CGI-FormBuilder-3.09.tgz > /sw.lion/bin/tar: This does not look like a tar archive > /sw.lion/bin/tar: Skipping to next header > /sw.lion/bin/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors > ### execution of env failed, exit code 2 > > But if I manually gunzip the archive, and feed that to tar: > > $ /sw/bin/gnutar tvf ~/Downloads/CGI-FormBuilder-3.09.tar > /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.dev' > /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.ino' > /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.nlink' > drwxr-xr-x nateware/wheel 0 2013-11-29 22:06 CGI-FormBuilder-3.09/ > /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.dev' > /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.ino' > /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.nlink' > -rw-r--r-- nateware/wheel 17748 2013-11-29 22:06 CGI-FormBuilder-3.09/Changes > > (etc.) > > $ ls -l /sw/bin/tar > lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 4 Nov 17 11:56 /sw/bin/tar@ -> gtar > $ ls -l /sw/bin/gnutar > lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 4 Nov 17 11:56 /sw/bin/gnutar@ -> gtar > > It looks like the GNU tar heuristics get confused by the extended headers > when presented with the .tgz. > > In the short term, I think I'll just try the Debian .orig.tar.gz, but has > anyone run across this before?
