If you run up2date-config, you can add tar* to the PkgSkipList or whatever they call it to preven up2date from updating tar.

Reading the amanda docs, I realize that there could be problem with gnu tar if we back up with one version and restore with another... I know it's not really an amanda question but this may be something one of you Linux admins might have encountered. Is there a way to prevent "up2date" or "yum update" to update certain packages ? Like gnu tar ? Thanks
