Issue
I tried to extract the tar.bz2 file in Fedora 17 OS. I used the command:
# tar -xvjf myfile.tar.bz2
I received this error message:
tar (child):bzip2: Cannot exec :Nosuch of file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exitng now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar:Error is not recoverable: exitng now
How can I resolve this?
Solution
For bz2
you need to execute like this,
tar -jxvf
Alternatively, you can also execute like this
bunzip2 myfile.tar.bz2
For more information you should check it,
tar --help
If in doubt, run file
on the archive to make sure it actually is compressed in bz2
format.
