Problems with unpacking a .tar.bz2

Hallo there,

i have problems with unpacking a .tar.bz2. I downloaded a .tar.bz2 into /var/abs/local/ and tried to unpack it, with the following outcomes:

[]$ bunzip2 pSX_linux_1_13.tar.bz2

bunzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing.
        Input file = pSX_linux_1_13.tar.bz2, output file = pSX_linux_1_13.tar

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.

bunzip2: Deleting output file pSX_linux_1_13.tar, if it exists.

I also tried it with tar:

[]$ tar -xvpf pSX_linux_1_13.tar.bz2
tar: Das sieht nicht wie ein „tar"-Archiv aus.
tar: Springe zum nächsten Kopfteil.

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: Fehler beim Beenden, verursacht durch vorhergehende Fehler.

With Konqueror its also not working. As Root and User.

Wierd: If i copy the archive to an other partition (my old Kubuntu partition, also ext3 as my Arch partition), it works.... with Konquerer and Konsole.

What am i missing?

tar -xjvf pSX_linux_1_13.tar.bz2

u are not using tar right. The 'j' flag is the bzip filter.

-j, --bzip2
              filter archive through bzip2, use to decompress .bz2 files

man tar

Re: Problems with unpacking a .tar.bz2

I get the same error message, as seen above.

I just downloaded the older file version of this application from http://psxemulator.gazaxian.com/ (1.12) and it unpacks without errors. Maybe someone could try both files out and tell what happens? I cant imagine, that this has to do with my system. (Not because im so perfect, but because its a very fresh installment )

The package works fine here, check whether it became corrupted while downloading it.

tar xjf works here. Maybe your download got corrupted? The md5sum of the file is 0812408db22184ceb8cb29ae7601298f.

Re: Problems with unpacking a .tar.bz2

Uhm... now suddenly it works... It works with Konqueror and inside the Konsole. Without any errors.

I downloaded it many times, and it unpacked never. I can remember, that the md5sum yesterday wasnt the same as nj said. The md5sum now is the same as nj said. I downloaded with the script from AUR and with Opera, and that approximately 20 times...

I hadn't changed anything except some updates and altering the xorg.conf. Updates i installed today:
- kdemod-kdebase 3.5.8-4
- psmisc 22.6-1
- slang 2.1.3-1
- hwd 5.2-1

I dont know, if any of these changes changed the behaviour, but know it works... seems like i downloaded it 20x with corruption.

Thanks for all the help!
