Problem: Bogus modification dates cause tar/bsdtar 1.02.023 failure,
gnutar works
The files were created from old Macintosh files using netatalk. One file
has a bogus modification date of Nov 16, 1913, which appears to cause
"bsdtar" to fail:
newserv# tar cvf /tmp/test.tar hpLaserJet456Installer.gz
hpLaserJet456Installer.sit.gz
a hpLaserJet456Installer.gzarchive_write_pax_header: 'x' header failed?!
This can't happen.
Create a tar archive using gnutar (compiled from GNU tar 1.15 sources from
ftp.gnu.org):
newserv# gnutar cvf /tmp/test.tar hpLaserJet456Installer.gz
hpLaserJet456Installer.sit.gz
hpLaserJet456Installer.gz
hpLaserJet456Installer.sit.gz
"touch" the files and force the modification dates to 2/26/2006:
newserv# tar cvf /tmp/test.tar hpL*
a hpLaserJet456Installer.gz
a hpLaserJet456Installer.sit.gz
