Package: tar
Version: 1.11.8
When attemping to do remote tar operations using the archive name systax
specified in the info file, which is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]:file", if user is not
specified, tar core dumps, when it should use the current username as the
default.
This is probably part of the same problem that resulted in bug report
#1110, but the problem is sufficiently different from what was reported
before that I decided to elaborate. Feel free to attach this to bug #1110
if that seems appropriate.
You can duplicate this by doing
tar tvf winfree:/dev/nrst0
when logged into hipshack as 'bdale', which will generation a segmentation
violation core dump, while using
tar tvf [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev/nrst0
works fine. Blech.
