Package: dpkg
Version: 1.16.1.2
and
Package: tar
Version: 1.20-1+lenny1
Upgrading dpkg 1.15.8.12 to dpkg_1.16.1.2_i386.deb breaks all package
installation, because further package install fail with:
tar: "--warning=no-timestamp" switch unknown (translated back to English)
dpkg cannot be downgraded either, so only a binary /bin/tar copy from a
working install works.
Installing tar 1.23-3 or newer fixes the problem.
I suggest dpkg 1.16.1.2 to depend on tar 1.23-3 or newer. I falled into
this problem twice, and it's very annoying, this is why I report, I hope
this helpes others.
