Comment 4 for bug 129314

No problem! The reason I reported the bug from file-roller was that I'd tried tar first, and it failed in both.

I'm running Feisty Fawn.

I made the archive some weeks ago, but I'm pretty sure I used the equivalent of `bsdtar -cz`. If it may be of any help, the files in the archive are a set of Subversion repositories.

Here's the relevant shell output:

$ tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.16

$ bsdtar --version
bsdtar 1.3.1 - libarchive 1.3.1

$ uname -a
