Thanks for the report. However, you've reached the coreutils list,
which does not include tar; and tar does not (yet?) use the
debbugs.gnu.org bug tracker, so we can't reassign your bug. The best we
can do is close this bug (as it is not a coreutils problem) and tell you
to resend your mail to address@hidden, as directed by 'tar --help'.
