If I physically unpack the kobopatch KoboRoot.tgz with 7-Zip I find 4 files.

If I just view in WinRar and drill down I only see 2 listed (nickel, librmsdk.so.1.0.0)
If I try to physically unpack the kobopatch KoboRoot.tgz with WinRar it tells me the file is corrupt and only unpacks the 2 files.

If I use 7-Zip rather than WinRar to view I see all 4 files if I drill down.

Also, there appears to be an extra directory level in the kobopatch KoboRoot.tgz file. I've attached an image of old (top) vs. new (bottom) when both .tgz files are viewed in 7-Zip:
Code:
old patcher: \KoboRoot.tgz\KoboRoot.tar\usr\local\Kobo\
  kobopatch: \KoboRoot.tgz\KoboRoot.tar\.\usr\local\Kobo\
I'm out of my comfort zone now so I'm going to stop digging until geek1011 returns.


I used WinRar, there 2 files with WinRar, I tried now with 7zip and there is 4 files.
The files with 7zip seem to be okay, I'm a little confused with that.

See if the file KoboRoot.tgz size is different every run.
