Its generally agreed that 1.13-19 and 1.13-25 do _not_ suffer from this bug. The newest, 1.13-25 version you have to get from alpha.gnu.org for some reason. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.22% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly

buggy gnutar
Hello, I just realized yesterday that one of my amanda client is using a buggy version of gnutar (SGI Freeware version 1.13) and that the index files have garbage at the beginning of each line: 07607207551/./amanda/etc/ ^ | crap! preventing me from using amrecover. I can still restore from tapes but not with amrecover interface. So after going through some index files and cleaning them and verifying that amrecover can deal with them I wonder what else might have gone wrong using this gnutar version. Does someone knows which sub-version of gnutar 1.13 are affected with this bug? regards, jf -- Sanity is the trademark of a weak mind.
