+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1690825 +++ Description of problem: Gzexe is unable to decompress the file it creates. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gzexe (gzip) 1.9 from package gzip-1.9-3.fc28.x86_64 and system up to date. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. gzexe a file 2. try to uncompress: gzexe -d or execute the auto-extractible file Actual results: gzip: stdin: not in gzip format /usr/bin/gzexe: test.txt probably not in gzexe format, file unchanged. Expected results: The orignal file uncompressed. Additional info: The bug come from a modification in the instructions include at the beginning of the generated file (header) (between line 147 and 195 in gzexe script). The script suppose a header of 44 lines long (skip=44, line 148), but currently, the header is 49 lines long. Changing the skip value from 44 to 49 fixed the problem. --- Additional comment from Jakub Martisko on 2019-03-25 11:44:19 UTC --- Thanks for the report and the additional info, I'll look into it.
