| Subject: | Archive::Tar unable to extract file handled correctly by gnu tar |
In Debian Linux 3.0 on x86, Archive::Tar is unable to extract_archive
the file:
/home/mstevens/CPAN/modules/by-authors/id/R/RK/RKIES/perltk-800.022_5.005-sol7-sparc-local.tar.gz
Present on CPAN.
Gnu tar can list the files in this tar file and extract it without error.
I have attached a typescript log of the program used and the results of attempting to untar this file.
