Here's what happens with busybox-cvs: $ dpkg -s busybox-cvs | grep Version Version: 20040101-6 $ dpkg -s tar | grep Version Version: 1.3.92-5 $ mkdir foo $ tar cf foo.tar foo $ busybox tar tvf foo.tar ?rwxr-xr-x 1000/1000 0 2004-02-19 01:49:06 foo $ busybox tar xf foo.tar tar: Couldnt remove old file: Is a directory $ rmdir foo $ busybox tar xf foo.tar tar: Unrecognised file type If CONFIG_FEATURE_TAR_OLDGNU_COMPATABILITY is enabled, the type is displayed correctly and the directory is extracted correctly. -- Matt Kraai [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ftbfs.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
