I'm using bash (Cygwin, specifically). I'm trying to install GNU dd_rescue, which comes in a .tar.lz
archive file.
When I use:
tar -xzf ddrescue-1.22.tar.lz
...it returns with the following error:
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1 tar:
Error is not recoverable: exiting now
When I use:
tar --lzip -xf ddrescue-1.22.tar.lz
...it returns with:
tar (child): lzip: Cannot exec: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
How can I extract and install a package from an lzip
archive file?
Ah, so that's what that error meant. I just assumed lzip would be a part of the core utilities. Thanks. – Hashim – 2018-01-15T22:37:26.597
