Package: tar Version: 1.20-1+lenny1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
It looks like that some descriptions included in tar.1 page are not complete. According to what I invesigated is that the tarman script responsible for the extraction of the info from src/tar.c is not able to extract messages that are split on several lines. For example the following message from src.tar.c (l 427-432): {"occurrence", OCCURRENCE_OPTION, N_("NUMBER"), OPTION_ARG_OPTIONAL, N_("process only the NUMBERth occurrence of each file in the archive;" " this option is valid only in conjunction with one of the subcommands" " --delete, --diff, --extract or --list and when a list of files" " is given either on the command line or via the -T option;" " NUMBER defaults to 1"), GRID+1 }, is extracted as following in tar.1 (l 199-200) .It Fl \-occurrence process only the NUMBERth occurrence of each file in the archive; Thanks, Thomas -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages tar depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18lenny4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries tar recommends no packages.
