[BusyBox] tar: Decompresion Failed bug

[Roberto A. Foglietta]

Hi,

  it's the first time I sent to this list a patch please tell me if I 
wrong something. This patch should fix the problem "tar: Decompression 
failed" returns exit status 0 even error happened.


BEFORE (original 1.00 on the embbedded device):

root at embeslax:~# cd /tmp
root at embeslax:/tmp# dd if=/dev/zero of=pippo.tar.bz2 bs=1k count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
root at embeslax:/tmp# tar xjf pippo.tar.bz2; echo $?
tar: Decompression failed
0

AFTER (patched on my workstation):

bash-2.05b# dd if=/dev/zero of=pippo.tar.bz2 bs=1k count=1
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
bash-2.05b# _install/bin/tar xjf pippo.tar.bz2; echo $?
tar: Decompression failed
255


  This patch was inserted as

0000347: tar: Decompression failed returns exit status 0 even error happened
http://busybox.net/bugs/view.php?id=347

  and may conflict with this below

0000262: tar -x doesn't believe it has reached the end of archive
http://busybox.net/bugs/view.php?id=262

  let me know, please...
  :-)


  Cheers,
