unzipping doing odd stuff with permissions


Hey, when I unzip a certain .tar.bz2 file on Debian etch (installed on a paralles vm on OS X) it appears to unzip fine but the permissions on all subfolders and files of the main folder have ? marks in their ownership and permissions fields.

http://localhostr.com/files/455a8a5d8db9fc67790a.png

Its only this exact .tar.bz2 file that causes issues, I get the same errors if I unzip it on my OS X install but it works fine on Ubuntu on a seperate machine and other .tar.bz2 files work fine on the debian install.

I also cant change the ownership/permissions.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
nnp

The subdirs in GPF/ have wrong access rights so doing something like "find GPF/ -type d 2>/dev/null|xargs chmod +x" should fix that. AFAIK the only account that allows for preserving ownership is root, after the dir perms are fixed you should be able to re-chown. Building the fuzzer or any other SW as root account user is taking an unnecessary risk so if you're doing that: don't.
