Package: tar Version: 1.14-2 Followup-For: Bug #354847 Hi,
the test failures seem to be caused by the dir_index feature of ext2/3. Unlike older ext2/3 this does not return files in the order of creation. Due to this tar -c will add files to an archive in a different order. The attached patch sorts the tar output in the two failed tests. There might be other failures on xfs or reiserfs though.
