Unexpected EOF in archive
Hello,
I tryed to extract the source distribution
apache-forrest-0.5.1-src.tar.gz but tar breaks with the following
error lines
apache-forrest-0.5.1-src/build/dist/shbat/bin/forrestbot.bat
apache-forrest-0.5.1-src/appendcp.bat
apache-forrest-0.5.1-src/build.bat
apache-forrest-0.5.1-src/RELEASE-NOTES-0.5.1.txt
tar: A lone zero block at 39728
tar: Skipping to next header
apache-forrest-0.5.1-src/appendcp.bat
apache-forrest-0.5.1-src/build.bat
apache-forrest-0.5.1-src/RELEASE-NOTES-0.5.1.txt
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
martin:~/src$
I downloaded the package from
http://mirrorspace.org/apache/forrest/apache-forrest-0.5.1-src.tar.gz
and
http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/apache/forrest/apache-forrest-0.5.1-src.tar.gz
but the error is the same both times.
Trying to extract apache-forrest-0.5.1-bin.tar.gz from
http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/ results in
apache-forrest-0.5.1-bin/etc/RELEASE-NOTES-0.5.1-RC2.txt
apache-forrest-0.5.1-bin/etc/RELEASE-NOTES-0.5.1.txt
apache-forrest-0.5.1-bin/RELEASE-NOTES-0.5.1.txt

Does anybody have the same problem? What could I try to do?
Greetings,

Youch! That will be bad if newer versions of tar have trouble
with old archives. Searching their bug list, there are mentions
of this "lone zero block" issue, and one particular post that
said "especially with tar archives created with Apache Ant".
If my reading is correct, then it is only a warning.
When i unpacked the archive i see that the last file
listed is RELEASE-NOTES-0.5.1.txt which is where your
newer tar reports errors.
How many files do you have ...
find . -type f | wc -l
721
Thanks for reporting the issue. We might need to put a warning
on our download page.

Thanks for your reply David.
# ls -l apache-forrest-0.5.1-src.tar.gz
-rw------- 1 martin bin 13772498 Aug 26 07:08 apache-forrest-0.5.1-src.tar.gz
So the file size is correct.
Now I tryed tar (GNU tar) 1.14 which ends with
apache-forrest-0.5.1-src/build/dist/shbat/bin/forrestbot.bat
apache-forrest-0.5.1-src/appendcp.bat
apache-forrest-0.5.1-src/build.bat
apache-forrest-0.5.1-src/RELEASE-NOTES-0.5.1.txt
/usr/local/bin/tar: A lone zero block at 39728
martin:~/src$
Now I tryed tar (GNU tar) 1.13 which worked fine ...
Greetings,
Martin

I have done ssh to the apache server and checked the original
distribution. Both src and bin unpack okay there using
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25
What is the file size for the src dist? The server
has 13772498 bytes.
