Red hat Link: What rpm package will install compress and uncompress commands

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Issue

  • Which package provides compress and uncompress utilities

Resolution

  • The ncompress package contains the compress and uncompress file
    compression and decompression utilities, which are compatible with the
    original UNIX compress utility (.Z file extensions). These utilities
    can’t handle gzipped (.gz file extensions) files, but gzip can handle
    compressed files.
  • Install ncompress if you need compression/decompression utilities
    which are compatible with the original UNIX compress utility.
