Hello,
today we installed 2.0.0p12 cee in our DEV environment and I just created a new tar.gz agent package for AIX. The tar.gz now contains a new file called “@PaxHeader”. This file disturbs the unpacking with 7zip and I wonder what kind of file it is and if it really belongs in the package?
Kind regards
Christian
From what I read, this is a dummy file in the tar archive which stores POSIX attributes or other meta information.
7zip (only on AIX? older version?) probably doesn’t understand this (newer?) standard, instead it tries to unpack it as a real file.
Does it help if you use tar instead of 7zip to unpack the archive? Or perhaps there’s an update for 7zip available?
I used gunzip and tar-xvf to extract on AIX 7.1 today, it drops the files in current directory, so had to manually move them to /etc, /usr/bin, /usr/lib, and /var.
