568 upstream (Paul Eggert) says:
570 This fixes Debian bug 92106, in addition to the bug fixes I already
571 reported to you for GNU tar 1.13.20 and 1.13.21. It also fixes a
572 core-dump bug for tar 1.13.19 and later, reported to bug-tar.
574 This fixes Debian bug 95984, in addition to the bug fixes I already
575 reported to you for 1.13.20. It also upgrades tar to use gettext
578 I haven't had time to fix all or even most of the bugs, but I suggest
579 closing out or modifying the following bug reports:
580 13312 I changed tar to avoid the problem (I hope; I can't test it).
582 58890 Fixed, I think -- at least, I can't reproduce it now.
583 65719 Not a bug? last message in that bug report says it works for him.
584 77664 Not a bug. In that context FOO:BAR means 'file BAR on host FOO'.
585 78179 Sorry, I don't follow this report. Tar does strip leading '/'s
589 85400 Fixed for the info page only. The man page is not part of
591 90794 This partly seems to be a Debian packaging problem; see 94257.
594 95984 Not fixed in 1.13.20, but will be fixed in next version.
596 100883 This bug report applies to the Debian distribution only.
597 100885 Not a bug; see its last message.
