Are you saying that you have already found a similar failure in dpkg when
using it against the tar 1.27 or 1.28 releases? Also in
http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fink/experimental/thesin/finkinfo/new/
I don't see any evidence of the execlp part of dpkg.patch since the changes
are all based on the newer dpkg. Since this really might represent a
previously unknown regression in the newer tar, we really ought to try to
puzzle out a reproducer to submit back upstream (assuming that this is just
an invocation of tar with options that no longer behaves as expected).

What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you? Monitors network bandwidth and traffic
patterns at an interface-level. Reveals which users, apps, and protocols are
consuming the most bandwidth. Provides multi-vendor support for NetFlow,
J-Flow, sFlow and other flows. Make informed decisions using capacity
planning reports. https://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/305295220;132659582;e
