RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
+++ 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.
