Package: tar
Version: 1.22-1
Severity: normal

I am trying to unpack at bz2 tar file and I get this error:

mc-laptop:~# tar tjf fglrx.tar.bz2 
tar: Record size = 8 blocks
modules/
.
. [ stuff omitted ]
.
modules/fglrx/libfglrx_ip.a.GCC4

bzip2: I/O or other error, bailing out.  Possible reason follows.
bzip2: Broken pipe
        Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
Exit 2


This only happens on my laptop (i686).  On my amd64 system. it works ok.

If I unpack it and repack it, it still gives the same error:

mc-laptop:~# tar cjf - modules | tar tjf -
tar: Record size = 8 blocks
modules/
.
. [ stuff omitted ]
.
modules/fglrx/Makefile

bzip2: I/O or other error, bailing out.  Possible reason follows.
bzip2: Broken pipe
        Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
Exit 2


bunzip2 has no problem with the file:
mc-laptop:~# bunzip2 -k fglrx.tar.bz2


But this does not work either:
mc-laptop:~# bunzip2 -c /usr/src/fglrx.tar.bz2 | tar tf -
tar: Record size = 8 blocks
modules/
.
. [ stuff omitted ]
.
modules/fglrx/libfglrx_ip.a.GCC4

bunzip2: I/O or other error, bailing out.  Possible reason follows.
bunzip2: Broken pipe
        Input file = /usr/src/fglrx.tar.bz2, output file = (stdout)
Exit 1


But this works:
mc-laptop:~# bunzip2 -k fglrx.tar.bz2 && tar tf fglrx.tar
modules/
.
. [ stuff omitted ]
.
modules/fglrx/libfglrx_ip.a.GCC4

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Marc
