Comment 7 for bug 524366

Hi

I have more info,if the tar.gz file is created in MS-DOS ,its giving this error
I downloaded from the above link and when i gave
$file expat-2.0.1.tar.gz
expat-2.0.1.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, was "expat-2.0.1.tar", from FAT filesystem (MS-DOS, OS/2, NT)
but when i tried to extract it, its giving CRC error,

So i took the same file and copied to ubuntu 8.04 and was able to extract successfully .
Then i created expat-2.0.1.tar.gz on the 8.04 ubuntu ,copied to new ubuntu(lucid) and now the command for
$file expat-2.0.1.tar.gz
is
expat-2.0.1.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, was "expat-2.0.1.tar", from Unix,

I copied it to ubuntu 10.04 and its successfull.

So it means that , this problem is there for the files created in MS-DOS

regards
Sree
