From: lee on 27 Jun 2010 08:40 Hi, I've got some files I compressed years back with bzip. Now bunzip2 can't decompress them, and there doesn't seem to be something like bunzip in Debian. And idea how to uncompress these files? -- 27/06/2010 04:03:46 The X server says there are 10 mouse buttons. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You could try to open with another utility (7-zip, peazip...) or try to recover with "bzip2recover" (work with a copy of the file, *never* with the original one).

It was compressed with bzip. Back then, bzip2 didn't exist yet, but there was bzip. And afair, bzip2 used to be backwards compatible ... -- 27/06/2010 04:03:46 The X server says there are 10 mouse buttons. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

That looks quite old. Maybe you will need to use the old bzip decompressor :-? > lee(a)yun:~/Infos$ file rules4writers.txt.bz rules4writers.txt.bz: data > lee(a)yun:~/Infos$ >> What error are you getting?

Look: *** http://web.archive.org/web/19980704181204/http://www.muraroa.demon.co.uk/ *How can I decompress old .bz files (created by bzip-0.21)?* Here's a the source code for a decompress-only version of bzip-0.21. Or you can download a binary for Linux-ELF. *** Anyway, try with another tools (i.e., peazip).

That looks quite old. Maybe you will need to use the old bzip > decompressor :-? Here's what I got: http://fi.aminet.net/util/arc/ There's the source of bzip 0.21 you can download. It even compiles on amd_64, you only need to comment out line 2706: Bool notABogStandardFile ( Char* name ) { IntNative i; struct MY_STAT statBuf; i = MY_LSTAT ( name, &statBuf ); if (i != 0) return True; // if (MY_S_IFREG(statBuf.st_mode)) return False; return True; } Then compile with # gcc -o bzip bzip.c -O3 -wall and decompress your files with something like: # cat test.bz |./bzip -d |less Not ideal because it might not be reliable, but easy enough, and it works so far :) I'll sure keep that source at hand now. -- 27/06/2010 04:03:46 The X server says there are 10 mouse buttons. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
