It appears that your browser has mangled the name. Try renaming the file to the proper name. mv coreutils-8.22.tar.tar coreutils-8.22.tar.xz Try using 'file' on it to identify the file. $ file coreutils-8.22.tar.xz coreutils-8.22.tar.xz: XZ compressed data If your tar is GNU tar and compiled with compression support then this will unpack it in one step. tar xJvf coreutils-8.22.tar.xz Otherwise do it in two steps. unxz coreutils-8.22.tar.xz tar xvf coreutils-8.22.tar Bob
