Unpacking proton tarball on fedora 21 from http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/qpid/proton/0.9/qpid-proton-0.9.tar.gz
> tar -xf downloads/qpid-proton-0.9.tar.gz tar: .: Cannot utime: Operation not permitted tar: .: Cannot change mode to rwx-----T: Operation not permitted tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors Note the files did get extracted OK, but tar trips up when it tries to chmod the top-level directory. In the tarfile the top-level directory mode is drwx------ instead of the usual drwxrwxr-x, I think that is the cause of the problem. Cheers, Alan.
