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 | grep Numix/gtk- | grep assets You probably get 2 lines for each of the above files. That produces a long list of files, but none of them seem to be exact duplicates. The closest are: lrwxrwxrwx rsteff/rsteff? 0 2019-04-03 09:32 Numix/gtk-3.0/assets -> ../assets lrwxrwxrwx rsteff/rsteff? 0 2019-04-03 09:32 Numix/gtk-3.20/assets -> ../assets Ah, there is a clue.. they are symlinks.. what exact options did you use on your tar create and tar extract commands? Specifically I am concerned about -h. If you evaluate what that sym links above point at they both point at a file called Numix/assets that is infact an exact duplicate. Now why is tar complaining about that? The only think I can think of would be the -h option saying to derefernce links and store the data. I used the GUI for both creation and extraction, so I didn't use any options. The creation occurred on a laptop running Xubuntu 18.04 machine, while the extraction occurred on my Ubuntu MATE 18.04 machine that has an xfce window manager. The copy from the laptop to the desktop was done with sftp. -- Regards, Dick Steffens ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
