Package: dar
Version: 2.3.10-1+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Without using the -s option, thus giving a slice size,
/usr/share/dar/dar_par.dcf does not do anything, because -E option is useless.

Followed by:
"With the next to come 2.4.0 dar's -E option (which is used by dar_par.dcf)
can even work when no slicing is requested (no -s option given). In that
situation, the user command pointed to by -E option (which is "par2" in
dar_par.dcf) is executed just once after the archive has completed."

Am marking this as done, because I don't think there is any bug here.
