The new tar-1.29 fails with my command line that works well with tar-1.28:
gzip -cd /home/tmp/whatever.tgz | \
tar --extract --numeric-owner --preserve-permissions \
--no-overwrite-dir --overwrite --verbose -f - ./install
I get the message from tar-1.29:
tar: '--overwrite' cannot be used with '--no-overwrite-dir'
What I expected:
It will work and overwrite anything except already existing
directories, and if the directory does not exist then it will go ahead
and make it without complaining.
What I got:
Error message I have never seen before.
If there is a better way to achieve what I was doing with 1.28 that
works with 1.29, please let me know what it is. I carefully checked
the NEWS and ChangeLog files and didn't see anything about the change
that now forbids the combination I was using before.
