This bug was fixed in the package libtar - 1.2.11-8
---------------
libtar (1.2.11-8) unstable; urgency=low
* libtool.patch: Set SHELL to the configured shell in those Makefile.in
where libtool is used; otherwise libtool fails when /bin/sh is dash
but bash is expected (Closes: #621935).
* man_hyphen_minus.patch (new): Escape hyphens that should be minus
signs in man pages.
* Rename libtar as libtar0 to follow policy.
libtar (1.2.11-7) unstable; urgency=low
* New maintainer (Closes: #526618).
* Change source format to 3.0 (quilt), clean up Debian diff and split
into several patches:
* libtool.patch: Using libtool to build dynamic library;
* autoreconf.patch: Changes needed to call autoreconf (bug 511741);
* memleak.patch: Fix memory leaks;
* bad_ptrtoint.patch: Document stupidity of tartype_t in libtar.c
(bug 309945).
* Increase Debhelper compat level to 7.
* Use dh_autoreconf to avoid having to keep track of files to clean.
* memleak2.patch (new): Applied instead of memleak.patch. Fix memory
leak by making th_get_pathname() return a pointer to a static buffer
instead of a pointer to a copy of a local buffer (LP: #41804).
* Add homepage field and watch file (in case there is ever a new
upstream release).
* Upgrade to Standards-Version 3.9.1.
