            Bug ID: 12536
           Summary: Linux-Headers extracting failure
           Product: buildroot
           Version: 2019.11.1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
          Reporter: melanie at trash-mail.com
                CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Buildroot fails with the following error message:

>>> linux-headers custom Extracting
/home/user/pi/my/dl/linux/tarball | tar --strip-components=1 -C
/home/user/pi/my/output/build/linux-headers-custom   -xf -
/bin/sh: /home/user/pi/my/dl/linux/tarball: Permission denied
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
make[1]: *** [package/pkg-generic.mk:172:
/home/user/pi/my/output/build/linux-headers-custom/.stamp_extracted] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:84: _all] Error 2



The failure is caused by this command-line:

/home/user/pi/my/dl/linux/tarball | tar --strip-components=1 -C
/home/user/pi/my/output/build/linux-headers-custom   -xf -



To fix this issue, the following command works for me:

tar --strip-components=1 -C /home/user/pi/my/output/build/linux-headers-custom 
 -xf /home/user/pi/my/dl/linux/tarball

--- Comment #1 from Peter Seiderer <ps.report@gmx.net> ---
The extract command for e.g. RaspberryPi looks like the following:

gzip -d -c
<custom_path>/dl/linux/linux-64d0a9870ac14d5eb5253f67d984ae348eec1393.tar.gz |
<custom_path>/host/bin/tar --strip-components=1 -C
<custom_path>/build/linux-headers-custom   -xf -

Maybe try to re-name your tarball a little bit more meaningful.e.g.

/home/user/pi/my/dl/linux/tarball.tar

or (after compression)

/home/user/pi/my/dl/linux/tarball.tar.gz

--- Comment #2 from Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> ---
We use the tarball filename extension to decide how to uncompress it, so if it
doesn't have any extension, we don't know what to do with it.

As Peter explained, it should have a .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.xz, tar.bz2, etc.
extension depending on the compression scheme being used.
