Thanks for the hint,

I updated the Genode repo accordingly. The website update is pending.

Hi,
with the new toolchain, the compression has changed from bzip2 to xz.
The toolchain instructions [1] still state to use

sudo tar xPfj genode-toolchain-<version>-<arch>.tar.bz2

This doesn't work anymore as `-j` requires bzip2 and fails with the

bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

A fix would be omitting `-j`, resulting in

sudo tar xPf genode-toolchain-<version>-<arch>.tar.xz

This is also safe since current versions of tar extract bzip2 without
the usage of `-j`.
Regards,
JK
