Hi,
its seems that gunzip does not works with uppercase suffixes...
Sample:
gzip pippo.txt
mv pippo.txt.gz pippo.txt.gz_Tape
gunzip -S gz_Tape pippo.txt.gz_Tape
*gunzip: pippo.txt.gz_Tape: unknown suffix -- ignored*
mv pippo.txt.gz_Tape pippo.txt.gz_tape
gunzip -S gz_Tape pippo.txt.gz_tape
* Works as expected *
I'm working with gzip-1.3.5-13.0.1.el5 but the error is the same on Solaris
and is not present on Mac OSX.
Is it a kwown problem? Will it be fixed?
ciao
