openssh unrecognized archive format

Me again...

Does anyone know why makepkg complains about unknown an archive format for the openssh tarball:

fukawi2@kangaroo ~/abs/openssh  $ makepkg
==> Making package: openssh 5.2p1-1 i686 (Sat Jun 13 17:02:37 EST 2009)
==> Checking Runtime Dependencies...
==> Checking Buildtime Dependencies...
==> Retrieving Sources...
  -> Found openssh-5.2p1.tar.gz in build dir

bsdtar: Unrecognized archive format
bsdtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
==> ERROR: Failed to extract openssh-5.2p1.tar.gz
    Aborting...

And yet I can use tar to extract it fine?

I have the same problem on the same archive.

Re: openssh unrecognized archive format

gzip -d openssh-5.2p1.tar.gz
gzip openssh-5.2p1.tar

Fixes the 'problem', but the MD5 changes so something must be screwy with the compression that the OpenSSH devs do to the package :s
