Package: tar
Version: 1.20-1
Severity: normal
The option --checkpoint-action dot doesn't get recognized by tar.
Other options like bell or echo do work. For example:
$ tar --checkpoint-action dot
tar: dot: unknown checkpoint action
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
$ tar --checkpoint-action echo
tar: You must specify one of the `-Acdtrux' options
Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
The error can be traced on the source to the file
"src/checkpoint.c:83". The if present there should be an "else if".
This is the fix upstream have applied.
