Re: [Bug-tar] tar has PROGRAM ERROR:

[Vitezslav Cizek]

Hi Linda,

* Dne Pondělí 11. listopad 2013, 02:47:33 [CET] Linda A. Walsh napsal:
 
 On openSuse, w/tar-1.26-17.1.x86_64, I tried using
 the --portability flag to get only older headers..
 
 Instead I got:
 tar cf out --portability P-1.1.4/
 tar: --old-archive: (PROGRAM ERROR) Option should have been recognized!?
 Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
 
 tar bug or platform (opensuse) bug?
 
This is a tar bug which was fixed in 1.27
(commit 2a61a3701f1fa04e83a2a39013ab56530a44b777)

You can create a bug in openSUSE bugzilla and we'll get this fixed.
