Just thought I'd throw this out there for the archives, or in case anyone else has seen something similar.
I'm attempting to package http://search.cpan.org/~nwiger/CGI-FormBuilder-3.09/ and I get the following at the unpack stage: env LANG=C LC_ALL=C /sw.lion/bin/tar --no-same-owner --no-same-permissions -xvf /Users/clepple/Downloads/CGI-FormBuilder-3.09.tgz /sw.lion/bin/tar: This does not look like a tar archive /sw.lion/bin/tar: Skipping to next header /sw.lion/bin/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors ### execution of env failed, exit code 2 But if I manually gunzip the archive, and feed that to tar: $ /sw/bin/gnutar tvf ~/Downloads/CGI-FormBuilder-3.09.tar /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.dev' /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.ino' /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.nlink' drwxr-xr-x nateware/wheel 0 2013-11-29 22:06 CGI-FormBuilder-3.09/ /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.dev' /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.ino' /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.nlink' -rw-r--r-- nateware/wheel 17748 2013-11-29 22:06 CGI-FormBuilder-3.09/Changes (etc.) $ ls -l /sw/bin/tar lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 4 Nov 17 11:56 /sw/bin/tar@ -> gtar $ ls -l /sw/bin/gnutar lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 4 Nov 17 11:56 /sw/bin/gnutar@ -> gtar It looks like the GNU tar heuristics get confused by the extended headers when presented with the .tgz. In the short term, I think I'll just try the Debian .orig.tar.gz, but has anyone run across this before? (I'm assuming this is from Schily's S tar, or something similar.) $ fink --version Package manager version: 0.36.3.1 Distribution version: selfupdate-cvs Thu Jan 16 08:54:42 2014, 10.7, x86_64 Trees: local/main stable/main -- Charles Lepple clepple@gmail ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
