Package: tar Version: 1.26+dfsg-6 Followup-For: Bug #293671 As said before, it would be nice if the backup and restore scripts mentioned on the Info documentation are actually installed, even with a slightly different name to avoid the suggested name conflict.
If not, please remove all mentions to these scripts in the documentation to avoid potential misleadings: the ending of section 5.3 and the whole of following sections. It's frustrating to read pages of documentation and then find out that I can't do anything explained there without recompiling tar myself. Another idea: Would be placing them under /usr/share/doc/tar acceptable, provided with extra documentation explaining how to install or run them? Thus allowing a sysadmin to copy them to wherever he may see fit: let's say under some operator's home dir to allow him use them, either inter- actively or via crontab, while not polluting /usr/sbin globally. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.9-1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ca_ES.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ca_ES.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages tar depends on: ii libc6 2.17-7 tar recommends no packages.
