Dear Cygwin Team,

is there an update on this? Apparently tar is broken on Cygwin 32 since 
the latest update (it works fine on 64 bit Cygwin) and afaik there is no 
way to install specific package versions from the command line as would 
be possible via the Setup UI, so I can't easily roll back to the 
previous version of tar. IMHO this is a very severe issue - tar is 
ubiquitous.

Best regards,

Michael
