I'm trying to untar the following file:
http://www.ledow.org.uk/Freesco/Programs/lpdsrv.tgz
With pkgsrc's tar I get:
gzcat lpdsrv.tgz|~/pkg/bin/tar xvf -
lpdsrv
lpdsrv.c
Makefile
tar: End of archive volume 1 reached
tar: tar vol 1, 3 files, 39424 bytes read, 0 bytes written in 1 secs
(39424 bytes/sec)
tar: Unexpected EOF on archive file
with MacOS X's GNU tar it works
gzcat lpdsrv.tgz|tar xvf -
lpdsrv
lpdsrv.c
tar: Read 8704 bytes from -
Makefile
tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.14
Can anyone explain what's going wrong?
