The "c" (create) and "x" (extract) commands conflict in the example. From context, it looks like the command should be this. tar czf ubuntumanualnl-12.04ubuntu1-debsrc.tar.gz *.dsc *.changes *.tar.gz which would create a compressed tar archive called ubuntumanualnl-12.04ubuntu1-debsrc.tar.gz containing the dsc, changes, and pristine tarball from the current working directory. -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
