Package: mc Version: 1:4.6.0-4.6.1-pre3-3sarge1 Severity: normal After creating a tar file using tar's --posix option, e.g. $ touch foo $ tar --posix -cf foo.tar foo the tar viewer of mc shows a directory "PaxHeaders.<number>" that contains some information, probably stuff that cannot placed in the regular tar header.
Please consider hiding this internal information as the usual "tar -tf" does. I admit that it's very hard to learn more about the posix (2001) format. By the way, this system is Debian sarge, the problem still exists in current etch (mc 4.6.1-1). -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.15 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages mc depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgpmg1 1.19.6-19sarge1 General Purpose Mouse - shared lib -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
