and I can replicate that error:

# tar -cvzf /dev/stdout /etc | split -d -b 10m - etc.tgz.messy

It seems to be tar's using <stdout> in stead of <stderr> for verbose output streaming. Tar's error messages (Entferne == German: 'remove') is <stderr> but didn't copy to the produced split (messed up) tarball.

Is there a utility for easy removing the file listings from the corrupted gzip'ed tarball?

Thank you.
