But as I said, the other two had no problems, and 'tar --list -f <file>' threw no warnings.
Is it possible your file is just labeled incorrectly and can't be read by engrampa?
file file.tar.gz

Something like that:

john@trixie-tester:~/Downloads$ file labbe-bark.tar.gz 
labbe-bark.tar.gz: POSIX tar archive (GNU)

Some tag or something must be missing, though other archivers are OK with it. I think that's still a point against engrampa though.

Just a reminder not to get jammed up by details. We're allowed a post-release upgrade. Trixie is already at 13.1...

Right. When your iconned wallpapers and debian installer banner are ready I'll run off a beta iso that will only be missing the refurbished BLOB.

I use 'apt depends' to check the recommends for any packages.

Cool. I had no idea apt had that command - it's not in 'man apt' nor in 'man apt-get' (which doesn't support 'depends' anyway).

@johnraff, the same way I didn't know you could use 'apt policy' instead of 'apt-cache policy', you can shorten 'apt-cache depends' and 'apt-cache rdepends' (I can't find much documentation either)...

^Ah, I didn't think of looking at 'apt-cache' for 'depends'. Thanks!

It's convenient how 'apt' incorporates a selection of commands from apt-get and apt-cache (others?) but confusing till you know.

They are apt wrapper scripts, I have no idea why they're not documented. We're in the secret club now, I guess!

^btw @hhh I'm working on the bunsen images packages right now - need a bit of feedback from you.

For the image archives package wallpapers - keep the logo or plain version?

^ Right, I'll bump it up to 60%.
