People have had problems upgrading tar. This appears to be because alpha.gnu.org is not accepting connections. In addition, none of the obvious gnu mirrors have versions of tar later than 1.13 listed. If anybody has a 1.13.25 tarball (I don't, unfortunately) that they can post somewhere, this would be helpful; especially given that tar is an essential package, and so selfupdate hangs when the package can't be installed. -- Alexander K.
