Description of problem: The sparse file support in lz4cat breaks piping. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lz4-r129-1.fc22.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -qi lz4 | lz4 | lz4cat Actual results: Error 68 : Skip error (sparse file) Expected results: Successful decompression. Additional info: Debian's version is based on r122 and does not have this problem. A workaround is to use the --no-sparse option.
