I am on tar version 1.27. I have 2 different tar balls of same compression format (*.tar.gz). One is getting extracted but another one is not on same architecture. The error I'm receiving is "Invalid tar magic".

file intltool-0.51.0.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, last modified: Mon Mar 9 01:41:20 2015, max compression, from Unix

I tried with tar -xvf *.tar.gz

Can somebody please suggest some solution.

What does the file command say when you run it on the two files, and what command do you use to extract the archives? Please edit your answer and add this information.

I can't reproduce problem, however I am using tar 1.28.

try to explictly add -z flag e.g.
```
tar xzf fil1.tar.gz
```

if both tar are on same directory, do not use star (*)

tar xzf *.tar.gz
tar: t2.tar.gz: Not found in archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
