I don't know, perhaps. If the older GNU Tar is the only(!) problem under
Debian 5.0 it might be sufficient to upgrade just GNU Tar. But it could
be also that there are other corners which break under the newer Linux
distro versions. The new RPM 5 based bootstrap is suffciently different,
so I without trying I cannot say what else has to be touched. I just
know that the new RPM 5 based bootstrap worked out-of-the-box under a
Debian 5.0 (amd64) server last week...
