[Bug-tar] verbose mode for deleting doesn't work

[Piotr Mierzwiński]

Hi

On site http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/tar.html I can read:
<quote>
‘--verbose’ (‘-v’) shows details about the results of running tar.
</quote>
and for creating archive or adding files to archive it works, but for 
deleteing files doesn't.

I tried used verbose mode like on examples:
tar --delete --file=lxterminal-0.1.6.tar lxterminal-0.1.6/README --verbose
returns nothing on standard output (file has been deleted)

tar -vf lxterminal-0.1.6.tar --delete lxterminal-0.1.6/INSTALL
returns nothing on standard output (file has been deleted)


Why it doesn't work?
It is bug or intended working?
