Hi

Where to get the GNU tar from ? (running 2006 november release here)
When i try to fetch it from one of the repos present into my actual sources.list, apt wants to remove more than a 100 packages.

Giving a try to a tar binary extracted from Debian arm package i might be going into some busybox/PATH weirdness where the extracted binary is not found :
Code:
/home/user # dpkg -x ./tar_1.15.1_arm.deb ./toto
/home/user # ./toto/bin/tar
/bin/sh: ./toto/bin/tar: not found
/home/user # ls -l ./toto/bin/tar
-rwxrwxr-x    1 1000     1000       194452 Apr  2  2006 ./toto/bin/tar
/home/user #
Thanks for your help...

PS : I would like to try circumventing rsync issue i have experienced too on some sites (eg. www.n700.net).
