[Bug-tar] [GNU tar 1.29] testsuite: 70 76 90 failed

[Giulio Agostini]

Hi there,

I tried to make the latest tar on my shared system (hosted on Hostmonster, CentOS 6.7), but some tests (make check) failed, see attached.

The reason I was trying to upgrade was because I had problems installing Lilypond, which makes use of tar, and my old version (1.23) had problems with extracting symlinks.

More details in this thread of the comp.gnu.lilypond.general newsgroup.

I welcome any info or questions you may have.

Thanks,

Giulio
