After a bit of a hunt, I found this in /etc/mc/mc.ext

:) I'm not exactly expert on mc regex, but I can't see what the problem
is.
I also tried renaming a .tlz to .tar.lzma. After doing this, no problem
opening it, and no problems with mc not recognizing it as a compressed
tar
file.

Can anyone see what the problem is? Anyone reproduce the problem?

:) Even better, any suggestions as to a fix that works?


Do you have the program "lzma" on your system? (I think lzma is
probably a symlink to xz nowdays)

Yes, I have /usr/bin/lzma, which is a symlink to xz. As I mentioned, if the
file is renamed from .tlz to .tar.lzma, it can be opened correctly, so the
system must be finding lzma. So I think the error must be in the regex used
to support the .tlz extention. I just can't see it...

Ah, sorry about that, I mis-read it.

I think I can see the same problem now. I just tried to rename a
file.tar.lzma (which MC opened normally) to file.tlz and MC told me it
"doesn't look like a tar archive". However, when I manually ran the
command:

lzma -dc file.tlz  2>/dev/null | tar tvvf -

it listed the file's contents as you would expect. md5sum of both
files are identical.
