tar (child): bzip2: Cannot exec: No such file or directory

Post by mister_v »

Hi,

I get the following error message on my new server,
when I try to unzip my backups:

Code: Select all

tar (child): bzip2: Cannot exec: No such file or directory 
Is the file corrupt?
Hope not...

sound to me that bzip2 is not installed on your system.

check for the command bzip2

if you can find it, install it on Debian (or ubuntu) with

Code: Select all

apt-get install bzip2
If you use another flavor of linux, either use yum (CentOS, RedHat, mandrive, ...) or emerge (gentoo)
