title: Autotools - tar This does not look like a tar archive
body: <p>After running <code>make distcheck</code> I get the message that I have successfully built the package and is ready for distribution. If I untar the <code>tar.gz</code> with <code>tar -zxvf hello-0.2.tar.gz</code> it successfully extracts all of its contents. However, when I try to extract them in different machines I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>tar: This does not look like a tar archive
  tar: Skipping to next header
  tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The weird thing is that it was working before.</p>
  
  <p>On the machine I'm trying to build the package, I've updated my <code>automake  1.10.1, autoconf  2.61, and tar  1.20 to automake  1.11.1, autoconf  2.65, and tar 1.23</code> and still the same issue.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas what could be the problem?</p>
