It can be extracted without problems with 'tar -xzf ...' at command line, so it must be a bug in Emacs' tar mode. Maybe it is too strict or doesn't handle some extension properly.

Dead on. I normally use an x86_64 emacs and could see no problem; I rebuilt on i386 and now I see it too. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

RET In the end you were right, and I have no idea how I managed to get the above results. url-handler-mode makes no difference, and the 64bit thingy makes a difference (it somehow hides the bug, so it doesn't signal an error but instead misinterprets the middle of the tar file, while the beginning and the end are still just fine, so my cursory check didn't see the corruption).
