tar_1.15.1-1_i386 does not parse -f option |

Subject: URGENT: problem with tar_1.15.1-1_i386.deb
Hi,
The tar binary in package tar_1.15.1-1_i386.deb
as sourced from my local Debian unstable mirror (mirror.aarnet.edu.au)
is broken.
Specifically, the -f option does not work.
That is,
if you do:
touch /tmp/test && tar -c /tmp/test -f /tmp/test.tar
it will output to stdout, rather than test.tar
Downgrading to tar_1.14-2 fixed this problem with tar.
Take care,
-Mike.

Hi Mike,
Thank you for your bug report. I don't know when this bug was first
fixed, but I just verified that with the version of tar in Debian
unstable (1.22) it is fixed. Specifically:
$ touch /tmp/test && tar -c /tmp/test -f /tmp/test.tar
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
$ ls -l /tmp/test.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 cworth cworth 10240 2009-07-30 16:32 /tmp/test.tar
Happy hacking,
-Carl
