Bunzip2 v 1.0.6

bunzip2: I/O or other error, bailing out. Possible reason follows.
bunzip2: Permission denied
Input file = enwiki-20151201-pages-articles.xml.bz2, output file =
enwiki-20151201-pages-articles.xml
bunzip2: Deleting output file enwiki-20151201-pages-articles.xml, if it
exists.
Any better tool?
a) Did you start by verifying the checksum of the downloaded file?
b) The "Permission denied" message looks like a filesystem problem, and
not one of the file. What fs are you using? I would guess you did that
on a directory you didn't have write access to, but then it wouldn't
process 14G.
c) There are some tricks to avoid the cleanup (like using bzcat), and
there's also bzip2recover, but if the original file is damaged, there's
no point in attempting to recover, when a new one can be produced.
I'll check if that file uncompresses for me.
Best regards
