Comment 1 Peter Vrabec 2005-01-27 11:45:44 UTC

Tar-1.14-4 have problems with sparse files. 
Try tar-1.15.1-2 from devel.

Comment 2 Matthew Saltzman 2005-01-27 16:15:54 UTC

I'd be glad to, but the current devel version is still 1.14-4.

Comment 3 Peter Vrabec 2005-01-31 11:11:57 UTC

tar-1.15.1-3 should have been there soon(1-2 days).

Comment 4 Matthew Saltzman 2005-02-10 15:57:32 UTC

Yes, it's there now (as of 1/31), and I can confirm it works.

Comment 5 Orion Poplawski 2005-07-08 15:55:42 UTC

Can we get an errata push to FC3?
