Package: xnc Version: 5.0.4-2.1 Severity: normal to extract directory from tar archive xnc is using something like that: gzip -c -f -d /home/emil/examplearchive.tar.gz | tar -xf - exampledir/\\* It works for tar 1.15.1, but doesn't work fur current package in sid (tar 1.15.91-2).
To make it working with this version of tar we need to add --wildcards argument. And after modyfing those three methods in ~/.xnc/xnc.afs: single_ex: bzip2 -c -d archive | tar --wildcards -xf - file; single_ex: gzip -c -f -d archive | tar --wildcards -xf - file; single_ex: dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile archive | tar --wildcards -xf - file; it works again. However I don't know how to make those changes in upstream package. This ~/.xnc/afs.xnc is generated when you run xnc for the first time. and all files in xnc-5.0.4/other/xncafs* are different from those newly-generated file. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: LANG=pl_PL, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Versions of packages xnc depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-2 GCC support library ii libice6 1:1.0.0-3 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-11 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-5 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 Session Management library ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-2 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libtiff4 3.8.2-2 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libx11-6 2:1.0.0-8 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime xnc recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
