Description Tim Landscheidt 2015-12-25 21:47:40 UTC
bsdtar-3.1.2-14.fc23.x86_64's /usr/share/man/man1/bsdtar.1.gz consistently refers to the executable "tar" while it should refer to "bsdtar" instead.

Fixed (rawhide-only) by 20b4c54be15a28d8ab522e3c13104b30abb5ddd3.

This deserves upstream pull request, but I'm not sure how to fix this (patching
is not a way to go - we need to have general way how to deal with those 'bsdtar'
references).  Time, can you help here?  I have looked at 'man 7 groff' .. but
not successful.

This does look like expected reference to any 'tar' command.
