*Description of bug:* "gzip -l" produces the following output:
gzip -l big_archive.tgz
compressed uncompressed ratio uncompressed_name
617736021001 3613347840 -16995.9% big_archive.tar
As you can see, the ratio field is producing an incorrect result. I'm not
sure if this is because the archive is too big or what. It was generated
via the following command in quotes:
"tar -cv /path/to/folder/big_folder | gzip --rsyncable >
/path/to/big_archive.tgz"
*gzip version:* 1.9
*Hardware:* Dell R720 Poweredge Rack Server
*OS:* Debian 10 buster
*Kernel:* Linux 4.19.0-18-amd64
*Architecture:* x86-64
Best regards,
