As I have been experiencing the norewind behavior, I downloaded last
night's snapshot, installed the cygwin1.dll, (all cygwin processes
shutdown first) and then from an rxvt window I tried

$ tar -t --bzip2 -f cygwin-inst-20011121.tar.bz2 
tar (child): bzip2: Cannot exec: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Interestingly I could bunzip2 and then tar extract (except for
cygwin1.dll - should it be in there?) as per normal.

I bzip2'ed the tar file up again quite successfully, just can't bzip2
with tar.

don AT DON /dosi/imports/tgz
$ which bzip2
/usr/bin/bzip2

don AT DON /dosi/imports/tgz
$ bzip2 cygwin-inst-20011121.tar 

don AT DON /dosi/imports/tgz


Thought you'd need to know.

Cheers

Don Sharp
