Package: xnc
Version: 5.0.4-2.1
Severity: normal

to extract directory from tar archive xnc is using something like that:
gzip -c -f -d /home/emil/examplearchive.tar.gz | tar -xf - exampledir/\\* 
It works for tar 1.15.1, but doesn't work fur current package in sid (tar
1.15.91-2).

To make it working with this version of tar we need to add --wildcards
argument. And after modyfing those three methods in ~/.xnc/xnc.afs:

single_ex: bzip2 -c -d archive | tar --wildcards -xf - file;
single_ex: gzip -c -f -d archive | tar --wildcards -xf - file;
single_ex: dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile archive | tar --wildcards -xf - file;

it works again. 

However I don't know how to make those changes in upstream package. This
~/.xnc/afs.xnc is generated when you run xnc for the first time. and all 
files in xnc-5.0.4/other/xncafs* are different from those newly-generated
file.
