libapreq2-2.07.tar.gz doesn't untar with Solaris tar

Using CPAN to install libapreq2 on Solaris now breaks with the following error: tar: ././@LongLink: typeflag 'L' not recognized, converting to regular file This causes the CPAN build to fail. I've attached the output of the tar command (run from the command line). Regards, -Jeff

Hi. I've been going through the archives of unresolved Apache2::Request bugs. Are you still able to reproduce this? If not, I'll close this issue as stale. On Mon Apr 03 11:41:46 2006, guest wrote: Show quoted text
