Do you have any files we could use to test? Hmm, it seems this happens when the content of the tar.gz are symlinks. example file is attached, when trying to extract one of the files using konqueror I get a message box saying: The file cannot be opened. It is possible that the file format is not supported. I am not sure, but maybe this is related to the following change in KTar (copied from websvn.kde.org), as that is all that changed in upstream and I don't think debian changes anything in the tar-io-slave. Oh and of course the target of the symlinks still exist here. Andreas -- Your analyst has you mixed up with another patient. Don't believe a thing he tells you.
