[Buildbot-devel] Buildbot on ubuntu 9.10 bzip2 error

[Rodney Stanton]

I don't think this is a bug in buildbot.  This is just a call for help 
with an odd occurrence. If anyone else is building on ubuntu 9.10, 
please let me know if this problem is unique to my setup.

This works on my 9.04 builders

Situation
OS: Ubuntu 9.10
Buildbot: 0.7.11p3, installed with apt-get

Cause:
Originally the unpacking was inside of a Makefile , I have also setup a 
builder to perform just the unpackaing

  argv: ['tar', 'xjf', '/home/build/buildslave/<xxx>/foo-4.4.4.tar.bz2']


Error:

bzip2: I/O or other error, bailing out.  Possible reason follows.
bzip2: Broken pipe
	Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

Confusion: Outside of buildbot, tar xjf works fine.
