Re: [Bug-tar] Bug report

[Marcus McDermand]

Hello again.

I tried the patch, and it seems to have worked for one of the tests. The number of test failures went down from 3 failed tests to 2 failed tests. I am still expecting 1, although the shrinking of failed tests is good!

Have another log

Keep in mind that this was done on an LFS chroot environment (Since the system doesn't even work) that was built by someone who didn't even know what a patch really was until they were told to apply one to an archiving program. It could also be a shoddy toolchain, as a result.

Thanks a lot. The testsuite did not expect absolute file names to start
with "//". I have installed the patch 2b7fc4aee[1]. Please, give it a
try.

Sergey
