According to upstream, some compressed tar files can fail to unpack without this patch: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2015-02/msg00008.html which is not yet in the cygwin build. But that email example was for a tar.bz2 file, whereas yours is tar.gz; also, the fact that your 32-bit build worked while your 64-bit build failed makes me wonder if it is something in the code that is not 64-bit clean, rather than that particular upstream bug. But I'd need to be able to reproduce the problem locally before I can provide an updated tar build for cygwin that fixes the problem. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
