583 * new upstream version, released specifically to help close bugs in woody
584 upstream (Paul Eggert) says:
586 This fixes Debian bug 92106, in addition to the bug fixes I already
587 reported to you for GNU tar 1.13.20 and 1.13.21. It also fixes a
588 core-dump bug for tar 1.13.19 and later, reported to bug-tar.
590 This fixes Debian bug 95984, in addition to the bug fixes I already
591 reported to you for 1.13.20. It also upgrades tar to use gettext
594 I haven't had time to fix all or even most of the bugs, but I suggest
595 closing out or modifying the following bug reports:
596 13312 I changed tar to avoid the problem (I hope; I can't test it).
598 58890 Fixed, I think -- at least, I can't reproduce it now.
599 65719 Not a bug? last message in that bug report says it works for him.
600 77664 Not a bug. In that context FOO:BAR means 'file BAR on host FOO'.
601 78179 Sorry, I don't follow this report. Tar does strip leading '/'s
605 85400 Fixed for the info page only. The man page is not part of
607 90794 This partly seems to be a Debian packaging problem; see 94257.
610 95984 Not fixed in 1.13.20, but will be fixed in next version.
612 100883 This bug report applies to the Debian distribution only.
613 100885 Not a bug; see its last message.
614 105744 Not a bug; see its last message.
