I suspect these are directories and for some reason due to the way you wrote the tar creation command you ended up putting 2 copies of these directories in the tar file. You can check this with: tar tvf <filename> | grep Numix/gtk- | grep assets You probably get 2 lines for each of the above files. > > Update: > > I'd still like to know what's going on, but in spite of the error > messages, the extraction worked, and I was able to copy the theme to > /usr/share/themes, and the new theme works. > > > -- > Regards, > > Dick Steffens > > _______________________________________________ > PLUG mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug > -- Rod Grimes [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
