I downloaded:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/6.0.1/amd64/iso-cd/debian-6.0.1a-
amd64-netinst.iso
$ bsdtar -C CD/ -xf debian-6.0.1a-amd64-netinst.iso
$ file CD/install.amd/vmlinuz
CD/install.amd/vmlinuz: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version
2.6.32-5-amd64 (unknown@Debian), RO-rootFS, swap_dev 0x2, Normal VGA
bsdtar and libarchive are all 2.8.4-1 in stable, testing and unstable.
I am doing this jobs on:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release: 9.10
Codename: karmic
So i am by the way not up to date.
The versions are:
ii bsdtar 2.6.2-1 tar(1) from FreeBSD, using libarchive
ii libarchive1 2.6.2-1 Single library to read/write tar, cpio, pax,
So this machine is a way behind the current release. I guess thats the problem and its fixed in the meantime.
