No problem! The reason I reported the bug from file-roller was that I'd tried tar first, and it failed in both.
I'm running Feisty Fawn. I made the archive some weeks ago, but I'm pretty sure I used the equivalent of `bsdtar -cz`. If it may be of any help, the files in the archive are a set of Subversion repositories. Here's the relevant shell output: $ tar --version tar (GNU tar) 1.16 $ bsdtar --version bsdtar 1.3.1 - libarchive 1.3.1 $ uname -a Linux removed 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:19:32 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux -- Cannot open tgz archive from FreeBSD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129314 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
