Does it solve the problem with long filenames? I got a "corrupted tar
filesystem" message while trying to install ptolemy (a non released
package becouse of this problem). Someone told me that dpkg´s implementation
of tar had a problem with very long filenames... I submitted a bug report.

If it solves the problem, the I NEED that package :-)

Thanks
