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.

[Bug-tar] tar has PROGRAM ERROR:

2013-11-10 Thread Linda A. Walsh 


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?
