Package: tar Version: 1.29-1 Severity: normal >From the NEWS file for tar 1.28:
,---- | * Manpages | | This release includes official tar(1) and rmt(8) manpages. | Distribution maintainers are kindly asked to use these instead of the | home-made pages they have been providing so far. `---- Those manpages are not included in Debian binary or source packages, probably because the DFSG prune process over-zealously deletes everything in the doc/ directory. Shipping the upstream tar.1 manpage and getting rid of debian/tarman would close the following bugs as well: #391714, #473228, #524819, #711725, #720877, #766016 and #779795. Possibly a few others, I haven't gone through all the tar bugs in Debian. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.6.2-nouveau (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages tar depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.52-3 ii libc6 2.22-11 ii libselinux1 2.5-3 tar recommends no packages.
