You may be OK then--I thought your version was 0.4.1 from the binary installer. nope, i did not use the binary installer, all my troubles started after i did a fink selfupdate-cvs. What do you get if you type 'which tar' in a terminal window? /sw/bin/tar tar version is 1.13.19 vasisht

Odd. I have tar 1.13.25 on my Jag system, and that's the stable version for 10.2. Can you do a 'fink update tar'? fails with the same error. then i tried sudo apt-get upgrade tar which also failed, but sudo apt-get install tar worked. now the tar version is 1.13.25 on my system, but whenever
