I can also confirm problems with tar-1.23. What is your host system? I have Glibc-2.9, GNU Coreutils-7.6 and Bash-4.0.35, on top of Linux-2.6.23.2. Speculating: maybe the problem is not with the tar per se, but somewhere in the interface? If there is a system on which tar-1.23 behaves properly.. -AKuktin -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
