Thanks for reassigning to tar ... could you please specify the full command line that you used for compression? It might give me better insight in what possibly went wrong (I got similar report recently). I did tar -zcvf file.tar.Z *.pdf (I had 3-4 pdf files in the folder.) I tried the on a new install of fedora 16 64bit and had the same problem. Yep, that's what I expected ... The other report is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=760657 ... it was probably caused by some other package update ... as it was broken without update of ncompress. Other external compression programs (bzip2,gzip,xz ...) are afaik not affected by this issue... so I would recommend to use temporarily the other compression method for backups. Ok, confirmed, it was caused by update of glibc (optimization of memcpy() function) ... and due to wrong use of memcpy() in ncompress, this error has shown. I'll do an Fedora update soon... ncompress-4.2.4-56.fc16 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ncompress-4.2.4-56.fc16 ncompress-4.2.4-56.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ncompress-4.2.4-56.fc15 Will this fix be applied to Fedora 14? I tested it on Fedora 16 and it works. Thanks, Phil Grinder No, F14 is EOL... no updates for F14 are allowed. Package ncompress-4.2.4-56.fc15: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 15 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing ncompress-4.2.4-56.fc15' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-0070/ncompress-4.2.4-56.fc15 then log in and leave karma (feedback). ncompress-4.2.4-56.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. ncompress-4.2.4-56.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository.
