Paul, can you please take a look at bug #152160 in Debian (http://bugs.debian.org/152160). It's about unexpected command line argument parsing in GNU tar. I seem to recall you sending a reply back when I filed this bug arguing (convincingly) that GNU tar does the right thing, but it's neither in the bug log nor can I find it in my private archives. Maybe I'm mixing stuff up with another bug report.
In any case, nobody has yet commented on #152160 and it would be great if you could take a look. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
