Both of these (this one and your other mail) look like errors in lintian.
It seems to be taking the timestamp as the filename.

Actually, "23:20 1998" looks like an "ls -l" timestamp, and lintian
should be processing "tar tv" output at that point.  (It doesn't use
ls).  Do you have a strange tar?

Please submit a bug report for lintian.  Do you get this behaviour with
other packages as well, or just tcpquota?
