Description Wenzhuo Zhang 2002-06-30 03:15:34 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020607

Description of problem:
It's a usability issue.

"less *.tar.bz2" should list the contents of the archive file. It used to work
properly. However, in rh73, the option "I" to tar is deprecated, but
/usr/bin/lesspipe.sh still uses the "I" option.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.less linux-2.4.18.tar.bz2
	

Actual Results:  Nothing displayed

Expected Results:  Display a list of the archive contents.

Comment 1 Karsten Hopp 2002-07-02 13:36:05 UTC 
lesspipe has been changed to use this filter: 
*.tar.bz2|*.tbz2) bzip2 -dc "$1" | tar tvvf - ;;
