I am getting a file from RedHat in tar + zip format.= Currently I am able to unzip it and untar it in 2 steps as follows: >=20 > $gunzip mytar.gz > $tar xvf mytar According to upstream, some compressed tar files can fail to unpack without this patch: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2015-02/msg00008.html which is not yet in the cygwin build. But that email example was for a tar.bz2 file, whereas yours is tar.gz; also, the fact that your 32-bit build worked while your 64-bit build failed makes me wonder if it is something in the code that is not 64-bit clean, rather than that particular upstream bug. But I'd need to be able to reproduce the problem locally before I can provide an updated tar build for cygwin that fixes the problem. --=20 Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --xLOlsvQ5DQ3vACW0TobebThE79uVE4iLS Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJVNVxDAAoJEKeha0olJ0NqYrkH/jTK08EsdB5FM+TO1TsWLcMr d5wQpF+Oi0uj+nZHX/3w1twXg5h6uNB98aFlTyShZY9GFTywb5C6lViA7/Fb2M3f cHpKPX/1SgieRDglakFJeaHAoLdJYLTj5uxLPQoUfbXoxPt1B90iysS4Lx/Qor5E XkbdzHOV6rwS9jW0xYmWmw+vVRLK/2QqoFLK8LVblq27n38IVOssdoMW88BFSVnq IKKH7fboJeH47ssEmop0guV+TJBdxKfr2kvyBuSUOdp/J1/R3K4/QdtHBsFtiTHu 8Xxczv1vaeW1R7JpljBiqnkHVPM1sXxV6MW8/W9GqyAg7ARAVAshAjdYa2+SYVQ= =PksW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --xLOlsvQ5DQ3vACW0TobebThE79uVE4iLS--
