# aptitude-create-state-bundle /tmp/aptitude-state-bundle
tar: .//home/andrew/.aptitude: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Hmm.  I originally interpreted that error output as meaning that tar had 
aborted.  It has actually succeeded.  (I never bothered to look at the 
output file, just mkdir -p /home/andrew/.aptitude and reran 
aptitude-create-state-bundle.)

Sorry for the noise.  Please consider this a wishlist to either validate the 
existence of paths before passing them to tar, or to swallow the error 
output from tar.

Alternatively just close the bug.  

Thanks
Andrew
