503	mindi tar of udev is not working for lib64, on Ubuntu 64 bits	victor gattegno	Bruno Cornec	"'''Context'''

Mondo Archive v2.2.9.7-r2846

Mindi v2.0.7.8-r2846

Mindi-BusyBox v1.18.3-r2846

The problem is with tar, line 2456 of /usr/sbin/mindi :

tar cf - -C / /lib*/udev 2>> $MINDI_TMP/$$.log | tar xf -

It works well on 32 bits GNU/Linux distribs, and on RHEL 64 bits (x86_64), but not on Ubuntu 11.04 64 bits (x86_64).

On the same Ubuntu x86_64, if I execute manually ""tar cf - /lib*/udev | tar xf -"" it works.

But, on the same Ubuntu x86_64, through mindi it doesn't work for lib64 :

Maybe the problem doesn't occur with RHEL6 64 bits because /lib64 is not soft linked to /usr, as it is on Ubuntu 64 bits..."	defect	closed	normal	3.0.0	mindi	2.2.9.7	normal	fixed	mindi tar lib64
