"Tar: opción no reconocida - advertencia" durante 'apt-get install'

Acabo de ejecutar apt-get upgrademi Debian 5 vps y recibí este error:

tar: opción no reconocida `--warning = no-timestamp '

Ahora, cuando intento instalar otros paquetes, por ejemplo: imagemagick, aparece el mismo error:

Realmente no tengo idea de qué está mal y cómo solucionarlo. ¿Es posible deshacer un apt-get upgrade?

Acabo de tener exactamente este problema. Como sugirió Gilles, la actualización tares la respuesta, pero (sorpresa sorpresa) tarno se puede actualizar de la manera habitual porque dpkgrequiere la versión 1.23 o posterior antes de desempacar e instalar la última versión de tarDeb. dpkgrealmente necesita una dependencia explícita para garantizar que cuando dpkgse instala una versión posterior de , la última tarversión se ejecuta primero, pero supongo que es un riesgo combinar diferentes pruebas y versiones inestables de formas no compatibles. Todavía es indeseable y esta parece una forma desafortunada de paralizar un sistema.

Mi primera idea fue buscar el último binario tar en el proyecto GNU , pero desafortunadamente solo tienen descargas de origen, que no son útiles si (como yo) no tienes instaladas las diversas herramientas de compilación.

Si descarga el último tarbinario .debpara que coincida con su sistema desde packages.debian.org y lo deja en un lugar temporal en algún lugar (solo para estar ordenado), debería poder ingresar con el arcomando, por ejemplo, ar x tar_1.26-2_amd64.deben mi caso.
Luego, descomprima el data.tar.gzarchivo resultante con un comando como tar zxvf data.tar.gz, usando su versión anterior existente tar, que debería funcionar siempre que no intente y haga algo tonto como usar un --warningparámetro que no estará disponible hasta la versión 1.23. :) Esto te permitirá llegar al tarbinario, que (dentro del archivo data.tar.gz) probablemente estaba en bin/tar.
Una vez hecho esto, agregué la ruta de ese binario al frente delPATHvariable en mi shell, que en mi shell bash se puede hacer con el comando export PATH=/root/temp/bin:$PATH, pero ajusta la ruta para que se ajuste donde taresté el nuevo binario. Después de eso, ejecuta dpkg --install tar_1.26-2_amd64.debmaravillas regulares , porque dpkgbuscará en la ruta y encontrará el último tarbinario antes de que encuentre la versión anterior en la binruta normal .

No tenía aren mi sistema, así que hice este horrible error:

mv /bin/tar /bin/tar.real
echo "tar.real xpf -" >/bin/tar
chmod +x /bin/tar
cd /
# put in the correct path
dpkg-deb -x /var/cache/apt/archives/tar_1.26-4_armel.deb .
# check things are working and then
#rm /bin/tar.real

Es posible que no deba preocuparse por descargar el paquete tar.

Lo más probable es que llegue a este punto porque estaba en medio de una actualización, y su sistema de administración de paquetes ya habrá descargado el último paquete tar para usted, por lo que lo estará esperando en:

/var/cache/apt/archives/tar_(version-release_platform).deb

p.ej:

# ls -t /var/cache/apt/archives/tar_*|head -1

/var/cache/apt/archives/tar_1.26-4_amd64.deb

Así es como arreglé mi sistema:

Encuentre la última versión en su sistema:

root@host:~# ls -t /var/cache/apt/archives/tar_*|head -1
/var/cache/apt/archives/tar_1.26-4_amd64.deb

Cree un área de trabajo temporal y descomprima el archivo .deb:

root@host:~# mkdir fix_tar
root@host:~# cd fix_tar
root@host:~/fix_tar# ar x /var/cache/apt/archives/tar_1.26-4_amd64.deb

Desempaquete el archivo data.tar.gz para encontrar el nuevo binario tar:

root@host:~/fix_tar# ls -l
total 972
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   2536 2012-02-03 12:20 control.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 978996 2012-02-03 12:20 data.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root      4 2012-02-03 12:20 debian-binary
root@host:~/fix_tar# tar xzf data.tar.gz
root@host:~/fix_tar# find * -name tar
bin/tar
usr/share/doc/tar
usr/lib/mime/packages/tar

Verifique la versión existente en su sistema:

root@host:~/fix_tar# /bin/tar --version

Haga una copia de seguridad de la versión anterior en caso de que algo salga terriblemente mal y lo necesite de nuevo:

root@host:~/fix_tar# mv /bin/tar /bin/tar_1.20

Coloque la nueva copia en su lugar:

root@host:~/fix_tar# mv ./bin/tar /bin/tar

Comprueba la nueva versión:

root@host:~/fix_tar# /bin/tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.26

Ya terminaste! :-)

Entonces pude continuar con otro:

root@host:~# aptitude update
root@host:~# aptitude safe-upgrade

¿Tiene la última versión de tar a mano en otro lugar (una computadora diferente)?
Si es así, solo scpasí /usr/local/bin, suponiendo que /usr/local/binprecede al regular taren su ruta de comando. Luego, puede actualizar:

apt-get install tar

Reemplazar tar con la nueva versión que estaba disponible desde / var / cache ... funcionó totalmente para mí. Pasé mucho tiempo tratando de encontrar la manera de arreglar mi instalación de Debian Squeeze para permitirme instalar nuevos paquetes después de estropear las cosas jugando con la lista de fuentes y dejando que Webmin intente una actualización (error grave). Muchas gracias a las respuestas directas al punto de ustedes.
