Package: tar
Version: 1.15.1-2
Severity: normal

Hi, I noticed that tar in sid behaves differently than the one in sarge.

In particular if I do:

tar -zc directory -f file.tar.gz

it outputs to standard output, rather than to the file. Instead

tar -zcf file.tar.gz directory

works. This is annoying for people used to the old syntax, and so I
think it's worth fixing or at least a warning to the user!

Thanks,

Guido
