I spent a while trying to figure why I was having
this trouble un-tar'ing .lrp archives. And I think now it
was my own dumb mistake.
My best.com shell account is a 2.2.8-STABLE FreeBSD
system. And, in a global .cshrc, the untar is aliases to
"tar -xfP". So...my own fault for not using tar *directly*,
rather than relying on a system alias -- the -P switch, of
course, preserves absolute paths. Which generates some
obvious errors when dncache.lrp (for examples) tries to
create a directory in /etc.
I still think David raised some great points in his
last letter, but I wanted to indicate that my primary "user
difficulty" with untar has been mitigated. Prior to this
conversation, I was having (perhaps a common) difficulty
looking at the contents of a package without actually
installing it. My fault.
