Comment 1 Ondrej Vasik 2011-01-24 09:36:54 UTC 
Thanks, yep, GNU tar project maintains documentation in info format only, so manpage is maintained by RedHat - in Fedora and RHEL-6 it is a bit modified help2man'ed --help output - which makes it more typo safe. So only RHEL-5 is affected by this typo.
Comment 2 Ivana Varekova 2011-02-28 11:00:26 UTC 
Moving this bug to Fedora as agreed with the reporter.
Comment 3 Ondrej Vasik 2011-02-28 11:10:59 UTC 
tar.1 manpage in fedora completely differs from RHEL-5 one. Typo is not present there. Closing CURRENTRELEASE, as problem is not present in currently supported Fedoras/RHEL-6.
