Package: tar Version: 1.15.1-4 Severity: normal The list of tar's options in the manpage is a bit out of date from --help's output. I've attached a diff that shows the differences. Some of them are purely differences in ordering of alternatives or naming of the words describing what values the option accepts but there are also options missing from the man page. One option to note is -o. This means different things based on whether it's being used when creating an archive or extracting one.
