I installed, then, this package, also found on sunfreeware.com:
tar-1.13.94-sol26-sparc-local
That is still a little too experimental. In tar 1.13.92 there
were some incompatibilities that made it impossible to work together
with amanda. They could have been resolved in 1.13.94, I don't know.
The proven, stable version is still tar 1.13.25.
Taking a look at /tmp/amanda/amandad.debug, I've seen these paths (defaut?):
***
amandad: paths: bindir="/usr/local/bin" sbindir="/usr/local/sbin"
amandad: libexecdir="/usr/local/libexec" mandir="/usr/local/man"
amandad: CONFIG_DIR="/usr/local/etc/amanda" DEV_PREFIX="/dev/dsk/"
amandad: RDEV_PREFIX="/dev/rdsk/" DUMP="/usr/sbin/ufsdump"
amandad: RESTORE="/usr/sbin/ufsrestore"
amandad: COMPRESS_PATH="/usr/local/bin/gzip"
amandad: UNCOMPRESS_PATH="/usr/local/bin/gzip"
amandad: MAILER="/usr/ucb/Mail"

GNUTAR="/.../.../..." is missing here. That means that the
amanda was compiled without gnutar.
Currently a lot of configuration is compiled in. That's why most people
don't like binary distributions.
Download and compile your own if possible.
Checking this list history, I noticed that everybody solved this by
recompiling the client using --with-gnutar=/correct/pathto/gnutar. This
leads to my questions:
1) Is that the only way out? Or can I override this even with the
amanda-client package from sunfreeware?
Yes. No.
2) In the /tmp/amanda/amandad.debug above, I see info about dump and gzip
path, but not for tar. Does this package come ready for tar?
Not ready for tar.
