Francis, and Amanda dev, is running amd64 unstable, and sees: fg@erwin ~/tmp/t $ tar xf gnutar-tests.tar --wildcards ./C[C; echo $? 0 fg@erwin ~/tmp/t $ ls C[C gnutar-tests.tar I'm running stable amd64, and with either a hand-built or keyworded-and-emerge'd tar-1.26, I see: $ /home/dustin/code/amanda/download/tar-1.26/src/tar -x -f gnutar-tests.tar --wildcards ./C[C /home/dustin/code/amanda/download/tar-1.26/src/tar: ./C[C: Not found in archive /home/dustin/code/amanda/download/tar-1.26/src/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors for the attached tarball. (This comes from Amanda's tests to make sure gnutar is acting right). Mine is the *expected* behavior (comparable to 1.23), while Francis's is new and unexpected. I suspect that there is some underlying library (libc?) that has changed behavior on the two systems.
