Non-standard options like --exclude need to appear after the TAR key letter= -c The background is that GNU tar claims to implement a 100% TAR compatible CLI and TAR does not use a standard option parser to parse the options. Unfortunately, GNU tar is wrong with it's claims....and implements a CLI th= at is very different from the original TAR CLI. In order to support the official TAR CLI, star calls a function that modifi= es the command line in a way that it later may be parsed by a standard option parser. Option parsing in GNU tar always was a big problem ans many user still comp= lain about problems they observe because of the strange option parsing in GNU ta= r. If recent GNU tar versions changed their behaviour and firefox adopted to t= hat, this seems to be a firefox problem. BTW: GNU tar is never installed as "gnutar". This is why the name "gnutar" = has been selected by star to switch to the GNU tar CLI. So my proposal: Either change firefox to have the non-standard options like --exclude appear late in the command line, or tell firefox to look for "gnutar" last, but ne= ver first. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
