This bug is still here in x86 64 bits architecture. When i was to install my own ioquake3 package, the loki installer complained about an expected error and this message was issued in the console :
Tar: './PaxHeaders.30331/.' is unknown file type: x
I had to patch manually installer's scripts, but both "--portability" and "--old-archive" options were rejected, Only "--format=v7" was accepted.
In the current release notes text we recommend to use either --format=gnu' or --pax-option=delete=[ac]time*. Did you also try this? This is the current text: <title>GNU tar Defaults to Creating POSIX-compliant Archives</title> <para> GNU tar now defaults to <literal>--format=posix</literal> and create POSIX-compliant archives with PAX extended headers. Check whether your scripts and applications are compatible with this format. </para> <para> The former behavior (and upstream default) can be restored by setting the environment: </para> <screen>TAR_OPTIONS='--format=gnu'</screen> <para> or </para> <screen>TAR_OPTIONS='--pax-option=delete=[ac]time*'</screen> -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
