MySQL-zrm backup fails with the following tar error:

tar: '--same-order' cannot be used with '-c'

which results in a zero-length backup-data file even though the backup reports success!

The log file says: "Command used is 'tar  --same-owner -cpsC ... '"

so the 'c' and 's' tar parameters are incompatible.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

MySQL-zrm-3.0-11.fc25.noarch
tar-1.29-3.fc25.x86_64

How reproducible:

mysql-zrm.conf contains:

backup-mode=logical
backup-type=regular
destination=/media/backup/mysql-zrm
retention-policy=2M
replication=0
compress=1
compress-plugin=/usr/bin/gzip
encrypt=1
encrypt-plugin="/usr/share/mysql-zrm/plugins/encrypt.pl"
decrypt-option="-d"
all-databases=1
user="XXXXXXXX"
password="XXXXXXXX"
host="localhost"
routines=1
mysql-binpath="/usr/bin"
mysql-binlog-path="/var/log/mariadb"
verbose=0
mailto="XXXXXXXX"
mail-policy=always
passfile="/etc/mysql-zrm/dailyrun/.passphrase"


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create /etc/mysql-zrm/dailyrun/mysql-zrm.conf as above (adjusting the destination, user, password and mailto accordingly)
2. sudo mysql-zrm-scheduler --now --backup-set dailyrun

Actual results:

Thu Jun 01 10:03:51 2017: dailyrun:backup:INFO: Command used is 'tar  --same-owner -cpsC  "/media/backup/mysql-zrm/dailyrun/20170601100237"  --exclude=backup-data  --exclude=index  --exclude=zrm_checksum . 2>/tmp/N2F79B_zbI  | "/usr/share/mysql-zrm/plugins/encrypt.pl" > "/media/backup/mysql-zrm/dailyrun/20170601100237/backup-data" 2>/tmp/2wY0XMlbX1'
Thu Jun 01 10:03:51 2017: dailyrun:backup:INFO: Output of command: 'tar' is {
tar: '--same-order' cannot be used with '-c'
 Try 'tar --help' or 'tar --usage' for more information.
}

and the backup-data file is empty.

Expected results:

Thu Jun 01 10:47:04 2017: dailyrun:backup:INFO: Command used is 'tar  --same-owner -cpC  "/media/backup/mysql-zrm/dailyrun/20170601104550"  --exclude=backup-data  --exclude=index  --exclude=zrm_checksum . 2>/tmp/pRoBm4bSod  | "/usr/bin/gzip" 2>/tmp/S7CHZRFDfd | "/usr/share/mysql-zrm/plugins/encrypt.pl" > "/media/backup/mysql-zrm/dailyrun/20170601104550/backup-data" 2>/tmp/uCgWejNS2_'

Additional info:

I found a patch for this problem at https://github.com/colinmccune/patches/blob/master/misc/MySQL-ZRM-Common-Fix-Tar-Failing-On-Same-Order-Option.pm.patch

However, the Common.pm file to patch is in /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/ZRM/ not /usr/lib/mysql-zrm/ZRM/.
