Yes, perhaps. It is weird however that in 19 years you're the first who noticed it. Perhaps package maintainers didn't include it in their packages until now.
Ah! Now I look at old sources on the mirror I see it *isn't* new. Most peculiar.
It looks like your guess about package maintainers may be right; on my own Manjaro system it's in the latest package (1.35-2) but not in the previous one (1.35-1). And the fact that I've never seen this conflict before (I've used several different distros since 2004) reinforces that idea.
So clearly I'm wrong about this being a "new" tar. problem. Thanks. -- Tony Green Ipswich
