I wrote the following (and attached) shell script to see if I could reproduce
the problem in Ubuntu 8.04 (file-roller version 2.22.3-0ubuntu1):
#!/bin/sh
FILE=$(tempfile)
echo Hello world >$FILE
gzip --to-stdout $FILE >$FILE.gz
tar --create --gzip --directory=$(dirname $FILE) $(basename $FILE) \
>$FILE.tar.gz
file-roller $FILE.gz &
file-roller $FILE.tar.gz &
I can’t reproduce the bug in Ubuntu 8.04. However, if I’ve understood the
report correctly (and have not messed up!), then this script should reproduce
the bug on affected systems: file-roller should succeed in opening
$FILE.tar.gz, but fail to open $FILE.gz. If I’ve misunderstood the report,
then please explain how, or feel free to come up with a different test!
