Package: tar
Version: 1.16-2
Severity: minor

The manual page states

,----[ man tar ]---
|
| --wildcards
|        use wildcards when excluding files (the default)
|
`----

while in the info pages, it says:

,----[ info tar ]---
|
| `--wildcards'
|      Treat all member names as wildcards.
|
`----

The latter seems to be correct (at least this option also applies to
listing archive members, as I found out), so the man page entry should
be updated.
