Bug Description
Binary package hint: tar
I use tar 1.20. I want to extract one single file from a
16GB tar archive that is gzipped with
the following command line:
"tar -xzp --occurrence=1 --ignore-
'tgz' 'file'
>/dev/null 2>&1"
It extracts
the file after some seconds but doesn't stop. top shows a gzip process
running. After some minutes gzip stops and tar ends.
