tar zxvf won't work with Redhat generated compressed tar file

[Murthy Gandikota]

Got this message from my upstream Linux sender

Please try as well but I previously tried renaming the .tar to .tar.gz (this is an old Linux issue - not knowing a .tar was compressed unless it had .gz too - that I haven't seen required in years) - this had no impact.
