[pve-devel] Backport of Debian Strech tar 1.28 in the pve archive

[Thomas Lamprecht]

With the new tar package I get an lintian error when building
pve-manager (also pve-container)
I get the following error output, and:

When i downgrade to jessies tar I do not get this error (and much less
warnings).

The problem seems to be with dpkg-deb and was fixed it upstream at:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/dpkg/dpkg.git/commit/?id=fcfe4f3aa2f3cb7f8179d4f2fe6dd65e75f7bbdf

So the back port of tar will also need dpkg fix(es) and is problematic.

cheers,
Thomas
