Doc Text: |
Sos archives its findings in a tar.bz2 file. However, neither tar nor bzip2 were listed as requirements in the sos package. Therefore, on minimal installations that included neither of these tools, sos would produce an empty tar.bz2 file. Sos now requires both these tools, which enable it to create its report.
