    You need to first use bzip2 and then untar :)

    <but how can I unpack *.tar.bz2 files?>
    tar.gz : tar zxvf this_is_a.tar.gz
    tar.bz2 : tar yxvf this_is_a.tar.bz2 or tar jxvf this_is_a.tar.bz2

    You can safely omit the v, it's only there to show the files scrolling over your screen while the archive is untarred. To handle .bz2 archives, you must have bzip2 installed. However, on a regular Linux or BSD-box, it is installed by default nowadays.

    The version of tar included in the MOS SDK doesn't have support for bzip2 (the j option), but you can get around that using pipes.

    Example:
    bzip2 -d -c archive.tar.bz2 | tar -xv

    You can do it like this:

    tar --use-compress-program=bzip2 -xf file.tar.bz2
