Subject:	For tar developers - problems with tar and sendmail archive.
Date:	Thu, 1 Mar 2001 16:22:01 -0000

The following command:

    strace -o d:/temp/tar.log tar zxvf /d/mcb/download/sendmail/sendmail.8.11.3.tar.gz

extracts a load of files but in the middle one of them gives the following error:

    sendmail-8.11.3/cf/ostype/altos.m4
    sendmail-8.11.3/cf/ostype/amdahl-uts.m4
    sendmail-8.11.3/cf/ostype/aux.m4
    tar: sendmail-8.11.3/cf/ostype/aux.m4: Cannot utime: Invalid argument
    sendmail-8.11.3/cf/ostype/bsd4.3.m4
    sendmail-8.11.3/cf/ostype/bsd4.4.m4
    sendmail-8.11.3/cf/ostype/bsdi.m4

and at the end there is this:

    sendmail-8.11.3/vacation/vacation.0
    sendmail-8.11.3/vacation/vacation.c

This line in the trace log might be useful if someone is maintaining tar:
