i can't advise about the decompression failure, but
you get the strange messages because bunzip2 uses %r
but the error was an internal one, and %r prints the last
system error for the process, which was the shell exec
searching . before /bin for a suitable bunzip2 when
you invoked it.  thus, the text after ``can't write...:'' isn't
relevant to the underlying problem.
