Description

In mc 4.7.0.2, select a tar.gz or tar.bz2 archive, then hit F2, then x (Extract the contents of a compressed tar file), nothing will appear to happen. Now do ctrl-o and look at the shell, you'll find something like below:

$ /bin/sh /tmp/mc-xxxx/mcusrw6aEHd
/tmp/mc-xxxx/mcusrw6aEHd: line 26: gzip -dc blah.tar.gz: command not found
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

or for tar.bz2:

$ /bin/sh /tmp/mc-xxxx/mcusrYR4l7b
/tmp/mc-xxxx/mcusrYR4l7b: line 26: bunzip2 -c blah.tar.bz2: command not found
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

The z option (Extract compressed tar file to subdirectory) in F2 works as expected. You can also enter the archive and copy the contents elsewhere fine.

Also, maybe this is related in some way to the fix in ticket #1967, where I mentioned a similar issue with the x option in F2, but which dealt with an archive with a space within its name. The error was a little different, but thought I'd mention it.

I'm running Debian Lenny on an Intel P4 machine and compiled mc 4.7.0.2 with the following options: ./configure --with-glib2 --without-ext2undel --enable-charset --without-samba --with-screen=slang

Oh, just in case, I do have bunzip2 and gzip installed.
