Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.
I can confirm the error message still shows up on the latest version of xzless on Ubuntu Trusty. I found that the same issue has been reported to Debian, along with a patch which was forwarded upstream. It looks like the issue has been fixed in xz, but the newer version has just not been packaged yet. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #693537 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=693537 ** Also affects: xz-utils (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=693537 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: xz-utils (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Tags added: patch raring saucy trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1248044 Title: xzless report an error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xz-utils/+bug/1248044/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
