• Bug#1104195: bzip2: bunzip2 -c and bzcat have different behaviour

    From Richard Hector@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 27 09:00:01 2025
    Package: bzip2
    Version: 1.0.8-5+b1
    Severity: minor

    Dear Maintainer,

    I tried to use bunzip2 -c reading from a fifo, but it failed, saying it
    wasn't a normal file. bzcat works fine on a fifo. As far as I can see
    in the man page, they should both behave the same.

    Sorry, tested on stable/bookworm only.
