Package: tar Version: 1.16-2 Severity: important If I do "apt-get install tar/stable" (tar 1.14-2.3) then:
tar -cf test.tar ~/.mozilla --exclude-from=<(cat /etc/group) appears to work. I get the output tar: Removing leading `/' from member names and a file is created. However if I "apt-get install tar/testing" (tar 1.16-2) and repeat: tar -cf test.tar ~/.mozilla --exclude-from=<(cat /etc/group) I get the output: tar: /dev/fd/63: No such file or directory tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Since simply upgrading/downgrading tar appears to cause the problem. I assume it is a tar issue and not a bash one. --exclude-from=/excludes where excludes is a normal file appears to work correctly. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages tar depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries tar recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
