makeself 2.15 fails, because file doesn't recognize the unpacked file as ".gz".
(In reply to comment #1) > makeself 2.15 fails, because file doesn't recognize the unpacked file as ".gz". I can confirm this. makeself-2.1.5 installs fine with file-4.23 but fails with 4.24 because the data blob is not recognised as a tarball.

I would like to fix up file-4.24. Thanks.
We could still patch this for 4.24-r1 to make a newer stable. But I just bumped it to 4.25 where the issue is fixed.
