I'm using amanada with SuSE 7.3 which has tar 1.3.18 which seems to work fine. I just installed SuSE 8.0 on a box and it also has 1.3.18. I knew about the silly numbers issue (bit me before elsewhere) but 1.3.18 doesn't have that. Is there some big amanda problem which exists with 1.3.18 and doesn't with 1.3.19 ?
