"dump" is a long-standing and popular utility for backing up and restoring EXT[234] filesystems (https://dump.sourceforge.io/). As part of that utility, the "restore" program exists in /usr/bin.

It seems that a new "restore" script has been added to tar in 1.35. This causes a conflict on machines where "dump" is installed, which seems not to be a very good idea. Perhaps a different name ought to be used?
