Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2010-04-03 12:23:50 UTC
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.

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.

Could you nag upstream a little? It's 9 months since last release already.

Suggest closing this bug as duplicate of bug #335852, and maybe reopening that bug instead.
Comment 5 Dror Levin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-12-18 20:56:36 UTC
This should be fixed with pigz-2.1.7. Please test and reopen if needed. Thanks.
