Description Joseph Wenninger 2000-11-12 10:40:36 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package: kio-tar
Version: KDE2 AnonCVS - HEAD - 11. Nov 2000 - 2300 MET
Severity: critical
Installed from: Source

If I opnen a tgz file in Konqueror I get a file with a question mark as icon and if I click on it i get the konqueror error-message >>/devel is a directory but a file was expected<<

If I extract the tgz from commmand line a devel directory is created which contains the files.

The same happens for every .tgz file I try to open


If I try to open the file devel.tar (same as above but decompressed first) I get the error-message in konqueror >>The process for the tar protocol died unexpectedly<<


Kind regards
Joseph WENNINGER

It works for me in general so it has to be something specific to that tar.=
gz file.
Can you send it to me if its contents are not sensitive or at least send =
me a listing
from "tar tvzf" or even better from "ktartest list" (ktartest has to be co=
mpiled from
kdelibs/kio/tests using make ktartest) ?
Thanks.
