Yes - the reason pax worked is that it didn't use libarchive. On a "broken" box: # ldd /bin/pax /bin/pax: -lutil.7 => /lib/libutil.so.7 -lc.12 => /lib/libc.so.12 # ldd /bin/tar /bin/tar: -larchive.4 => /usr/lib/libarchive.so.4 -lbz2.1 => /usr/lib/libbz2.so.1 -lc.12 => /lib/libc.so.12 -lcrypto.14 => /lib/libcrypto.so.14 -lcrypt.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 -lexpat.2 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.2 -llzma.2 => /lib/liblzma.so.2 -lpthread.1 => /lib/libpthread.so.1 -lz.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 Cheers, Patrick
