[Bug-tar] [GNU tar 1.15.91] testsuite: 45 failed

[Bruno Haible]

Hi,

tar 1.15.91 "make check" fails for me, on Linux/x86.
(I reported the same failure already for tar-1.15.90 on 2006-03-03.)
Relevant excerpt from testsuite.log:

Where does the /dev/fd0 come from?
$ echo $TAPE
/dev/fd0

Probably you should unset the TAPE variable at the beginning of the test.
