--- Begin Message ---A user of my Debian package of tar reports a problem in version 1.16 where doing something like tar -cf test.tar ~/.mozilla --exclude-from=<(cat /etc/group) results in the following error output: tar: /dev/fd/63: No such file or directory tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now The user reports that commenting out the call to closeopen() at line 2257 of tar.c seems to fix this problem. See http://www.debian.org/415477 for further details. Please preserve the CC in any replies so that our bug tracking system can keep a copy of any discussion. Bdale
