Probably me. In any event, I did find where in synaptic to enable the
wheezy-backports, and an update then brought about 330 packages up newer
versions.
Unfortunately, one of them was tar, to version 1.27-1 and it no longer
tolerates being called with the -cpsf option list, puking all over
itself and refusing to complete last nights backup run by amanda.
This gets tiresome as I don't recall ever updating tar, and having a
working syntax when it was done. Suitable help please message posted to
the tar-users list.
Other than that, the system seems to be running smoother after that
update blast than it has since the ssl/tls square dance started around 2
weeks ago. So I'll be pleased when I figure out how to fix tar so it
works again.
Thanks Richard.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
