[Bug-tar] extraneous %s in error message |

Hi list,
I report here a minor bug in the last tar.
jupiter% tar --version | head -1
tar (GNU tar) 1.22.90
jupiter% tar tvf /dev/null --owner=no-such-owner /etc/passwd
tar: no-such-owner: Invalid owner
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
jupiter% tar tvf /dev/null --group=no-such-group /etc/passwd
tar: no-such-group: %s: Invalid group
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
jupiter%
The second error message is probably wrong (extraneous `%s: ').
By the way, it seems to me that it should be possible to have
these commands (above) succeed. After all, the tar file is not
dedicated to local consumption: the local existence or
nonexistence of any group or owner is not sufficient to forbid
the creation of such a tar file.
Regards.
Denis Excoffier.
