Package: tar
Version: 1.14-2
Followup-For: Bug #354847
Hi,
the test failures seem to be caused by the dir_index feature of
ext2/3. Unlike older ext2/3 this does not return files in the order of
creation. Due to this tar -c will add files to an archive in a
different order. The attached patch sorts the tar output in the two
failed tests. There might be other failures on xfs or reiserfs though.
