Description Paul Bredbury 2006-11-01 12:04:07 UTC

Hi, the "file" command has changed its output for a tar archive, called by e.g. "file -b KMQuake2_data-0.19.tar":

file-4.17-r1 returns:  POSIX tar archive

file-4.18 returns:     POSIX tar archive (GNU)

This breaks unpack_makeself() in eutils.eclass - enclosed is a patch to fix it.
