[Mingw-users] tar xjf boost_1_49_0.tar.bz2

[Luis Saavedra]

Hi,

when I try to unpack boost, like any .tar.bz2 package, with the command:

$ tar xjf boost_1_49_0.tar.bz2

it shows many warnings like:

tar: Archive value 4294967295 is out of gid_t range 0..65535

and finally it fails showing this error message:

tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

in the other hand, with bsdtar work fine, this is frustrating, because I would like to unpack all packages (tar.gz, tar.bz2, tar.xz) with tar,

regards,
Luis

PD:
$ openssl sha1 boost_1_49_0.tar.bz2
SHA1(boost_1_49_0.tar.bz2)= 26a52840e9d12f829e3008589abf0a925ce88524
