tar restore gives implausibly old time stamp 1970-01-01 10:00:00 warning |
Package: tar
Version: 1.13.93-3
Severity: normal
Tar complains with a warning re implausibly old time stamp when
restoring files.
The tar files are created by a script which uses options:
-clpf - --numeric-owner -z -g $snapshot_filename
The tar archive is restored with options;
-xpvzf - --numeric-owner --overwrite -g $snapshot_filename -C $dest
When restoring an archive on unstable I get the following warnings:
<snip>
etc/gconf/schemas/debbuggtk.schemas
tar: etc/gconf/schemas/debbuggtk.schemas: implausibly old time stamp
1970-01-01 10:00:00
etc/network/ifstate
tar: etc/network/ifstate: implausibly old time stamp 1970-01-01 10:00:00

tar: var/yp/binding/home.lan.1: implausibly old time stamp 1970-01-01

var/yp/binding/home.lan.2
tar: var/yp/binding/home.lan.2: implausibly old time stamp 1970-01-01
10:00:00

Interestingly enough, when the same tarball is unpacked on a stable
system (with tar 1.13.25-2) with NO warnings. A comparision of the
restored filesystems between both tar versions shows no differences.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the quick reply. I'll close this report and look forward to
