Description D Tuinstra 2002-10-16 17:00:31 UTC

If you try to follow the instructions in Code Listing 9.1, tar gives the message
"This does not look like a tar archive" and a few more lines of error
description. The problem is that the archive is in bz2 format. Running bunzip2
on the archive first will unpack it. This step should be added to the Code Listing.

Code Listing 9.1:
tar -xvjpf /path/to/stage?-*.tbz2

from tar(1) man:
-j, --bzip2 - filter archive through bzip2, use to decompess .bz2 files
