The distributed binary is all that is needed. If it is known as "unpigz", it will unpack the archive, otherwise it will create it.
A simple workaround is: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/pigz /usr/local/bin/unpigz However, I disagree that this is a "wishlist". Vital functionality is missing from the package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538539 Title: unpigz is missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pigz/+bug/538539/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
