Question #78858 on tar in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tar/+question/78858

    Status: Open => Answered

Larry Jordan proposed the following answer:
     Not that I am much good with it, since mine on my old FC2 system
NEVER worked and I got used to using the ARK in window mode, but have
you tried removing the gzip separately using something like gzip
hamachi-0.9.9-20-lnx.tar.gz or gzip -d hamachi-0.9.9-20-lnx.tar.gz?
That should leave you with a straight TAR file to work on.  (TAR is
supposed to be able to do the decompression anyway, but since you
mentioned that you haven't had success with files ending in .gz I'm
wondering if maybe it'll fix this for you.)
