Package: kgb
Version: 1.0b4-5
Severity: normal

Comparing some compressors:

    % ls -log hda1*
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 2317178880 Mar 27 00:10 hda1.tar
    -rwxr-xr-x 1  978854423 Mar 27 00:45 hda1.tar.bz2
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 1044106128 Mar 25 19:06 hda1.tar.gz
    -rwxr-xr-x 1  774386059 Mar 27 00:10 hda1.tar.rz

But...

    % kgb  hda1.tar.kgb hda1.tar ; echo $?
    Nothing to compress, archive won't be created.
    1

'kgb' will compress those 1G archives without complaint, maybe the
problem is the size. Apparently 1G works, but 2.3G doesn't; I
haven't tested to find out the limit.  

(If it matters, the disk had 2.65G free, and 'rzip' was able to
compress the same 'hda1.tar'.)

Seems the bug is either:

    1) 'kgb' should be able to compress 2.3G files.
    2) OR the error message should better explain why it can't.

Hope this helps...
