Package: tar Version: 1.27.1-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Bug #319635 (tar: Defalt location of 'rmt' executable is incorrect) appears to have recurred. The bug was fixed in 1.15.1-3, and was also not present in 1.26+dfsg-0.1 (from stable). However, in 1.27.1-2 tar is attempting to use /usr/lib/tar/rmt when given a filename with a colon: $ tar tf remote-host:foo.tar bash: /usr/lib/tar/rmt: No such file or directory tar: remote-host\:foo.tar: Cannot open: Input/output error tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now $ A cursory examination of the source code and documentation suggests that tar should be configured with --with-rmt=/etc/rmt specified.
