Package: zstd
Version: 1.3.5+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/zstd
user@debian:~/mkd$ zstdcat abc.tar.zst | tar xf -
zstd: abc.tar.zst is not a regular file -- ignored
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
user@debian:~/mkd$ ls abc.tar.zst
ls: cannot access 'abc.tar.zst': No such file or directory
user@debian:~/mkd$ stat abc.tar.zst
stat: cannot stat 'abc.tar.zst': No such file or directory
user@debian:~/mkd$
The error message isn't helpful, because it suggest the filename is
correct but it is not a file, and maybe a directory or a block device or
something.
Best regards,
Witold
