Can't unpack certain archives

Hello. I'm trying to compile qt5 on Slackware64-current, but source archives fail to unpack.

$ tar xvf qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.0.tar.gz 2> error.log

Are you certain the download was complete?
Where did you download from? I used the url from the Sbo qt5.info file - just changed the version numbers i.e.
Code:
wget http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.5/5.5.0/single/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.0.tar.xz
File size is
Code:
chris@d6:/storage/distfiles$ ls -l qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.0.tar.xz 
-rw-r--r-- 1 chris vislab 319474656 Jul  1 16:44 qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.0.tar.xz
(notice tar.xz not tar.gz). It unpacks normally.

At least one of these archives is consistent (md5sum ok).
On another PC with Slackware64 14.1 I don't get any errors.

I have occasionally run into *.tar.*z archives which I could only untar by decompressing them first and then using tar on them.

Usually,

Code:
tar -xf *.*
works for anything. The only time an archive won't decompress is if the download was incomplete, or the archive was corrupted.

You didn't run out of disk space, did you?

Wow. That works! But why?

I have plenty of free space. That's definitely not a problem.

Check the package's md5 checksum.

I think that it may be because of creating the archives with BSD tar or some other variety of packer. There is/was a project called 'defora' where all his source archives are like that. Worth keeping in mind if anyone is scripting routines to unpack archives...

Is that a clue? What filesystems do the SSD and external USB-HDD use? Are they formatted with FAT or EXFAT, and does the extract work on a proper filesystem like ext4?

md5 checksum is correct.

reiserfs 3.6 on SSD and ext4 on USB-HDD

I still can't figure out what is wrong. I can untar the same package on another system with the same version of tar (both systems run slackware-current).

Now I can't unpack libreoffice archive

And unfortunately, I have no idea how to use strace in this case, because I get enormous amount of debug data. And I simply don't know what to look for.

Its probably because of either (a), murderfs, (b) murdered ssd/hdd, or (c) both.

Have you tried moving the ssd and hdd somewhere else?

I found a tar problem with largefile in -current

when run tar -czf a.tgz some-file-large-than-2G
tar told me "File too large"

after some research and compare,
I found this problem is occur after glibc upgrade to 2.22
tar with glibc 2.21 is OK.
