Re: [Bug-tar] Bug report

[Bruce Dubbs]

Please note that this bug report is filed by a new LFS user.  In LFS, an 
entire Linux system is built from source code in a chroot.  Our logs 
only show a single failure, link mismatch, which appears to be fixed by 
the patch below.

We build tar as one of the last packages in the system.  Only vim is 
unavailable when we build tar.

Our test log is at:
