Summary:                    [patch] tar fails to chown in centos 4.3
Description: 
System: Centos 4.

tar-1.14-12.RHEL4

Building as non-root.

I have not encountered this error later, and thus suspect it was fixed
later on (ignoring impossible application of -o) . This seems like a bug in
that specific version of tar at first glance. I have not looked for updates
yet.

Attached patch is a quick fix for this: removes the option '-o' from tar.
