When having pigz with symlinks installed, trying to open .tar.gz archive with vim results in following error: pigz abort: invalid option: -- tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors To be compliant with gzip, pigz should support '--' option terminator. I'm attaching a simple patch adding the support for it.
Created attachment 226391 [details, diff] Add support for '--' option terminator
I've contacted upstream about this issue and was told that it was already fixed for the next version, so we'll just wait for that. Thanks for the report.

Suggest closing this bug as duplicate of bug #335852, and maybe reopening that bug instead.
This should be fixed with pigz-2.1.7. Please test and reopen if needed. Thanks.
