Can't 'Test integrity' of .tar.gz, .tar.bz2 archives

[jpka]

When I open .zip archive, the menu Archive - Test integrity is active & functional. On .tar.bz2, .tar.gz archives, this menu not active, and no way to test such archives.
To reproduce this, create two archives from any file, one .zip and one .tar.bz2, open each and try to test integrity.
I have Ubuntu 8.04 + all updates available on 08/30/2008.

Thank you for reporting this bug. I can confirm this with my hardy system.

thank you for your bug report, the tar command has no option to do that so that's not a bug

Sorry I may be wrong, but I do some tests:

(here I create invoice.jpg.tar.bz2 from invoice.jpg via file-roller)

-----
# tar -tvf invoice.jpg.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- hrych/root 69081 2008-08-13 13:15 invoice.jpg
-----

(here I edit .tar.bz2 in middle of file, via hex editor)

-----
# tar -tvf invoice.jpg.tar.bz2
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header

bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing.
 Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Here i noticed about -tvv option... maybe is suit our needs?
Thanks!

that's not an option to test the integrety but right it could rely on parsing text printed there which would be hackish though, the request is rather an upstream one, could you open the bug on bugzilla.gnome.org where people writting the software will read it?

[jpka (jopka)]

I submit bug #550264 at bugzilla.Thanks!

Thank you for your sending the request to GNOME
