Subject: URGENT: problem with tar_1.15.1-1_i386.deb
Hi,
The tar binary in package tar_1.15.1-1_i386.deb
as sourced from my local Debian unstable mirror (mirror.aarnet.edu.au)
is broken.
Specifically, the -f option does not work.
That is,
if you do:
touch /tmp/test && tar -c /tmp/test -f /tmp/test.tar
it will output to stdout, rather than test.tar
Downgrading to tar_1.14-2 fixed this problem with tar.
Take care,
-Mike.
