Bug Description

See debian bug # 378558:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=378558

There is an incompatability in Amanda with GNU tar 1.15.91, which causes incremental (level 1) backups to fail. There is a patch to fix this upstream in amanda 2.5.1b1, which is available as a separate diff in the Debian bug report referenced above.
