From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [fr] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.0 i686) I got this output.. [root@gruyere /usr/src]# tar Ixvf MesaDemos-3.4.tar.bz2 tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: 412 garbage bytes ignored at end of archive tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors zsh: exit 2 tar Ixvf MesaDemos-3.4.tar.bz2 But when I bunzip the file there is no problem. I can even tar xvf it after. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. found a tar.bz2 file 2. tar Ixvf file.tar.bz2 3. Actual Results: See above. Expected Results: Tar should extract the archive from tar.bz2 file.
NOT A BUG... the option is now -j for bzipped files..
reopening since it's a doc bug in the man page, although lower priority since it's fine in info and man is deprecated in favor of info, yadda yadda yadda
The -I option is still present, displays useful usage message: bash$ tar cIvf abc.tar.bz2 abc tar: Warning: the -I option is not supported; perhaps you meant -j or -T? Try `tar --help' for more information.
