Bug#380685: kdebase-kio-plugins: tar io-slave totally broken since upgrade to 3.5.4

[Andreas Pakulat <apaku@gmx.de>]

Package: kdebase-kio-plugins
Version: 4:3.5.4-2
Severity: important

Hi,

just found out that the tar io-slave doesn't work on tar.gz's anymore
(didn't test plain tar or tar.bz2), it extracts all files with 0 size.
Could this be related to the recent changes in tar?

I would've raised the severity, but wasn't sure if it is justified, it
totally breaks project creation in kdevelop because the template files
are inside tar.gz's.

Andreas
