Yes the 1.14 fromRH is supposed to work, but I don't see how a symlink
would resolve the issue ? Or I do not understand what you mean by a
symlink... a symlink to the 1.14 package named tar-1.15 ? How would
you create that and how would it fix the problem ???

In any case, installing amanda from source is VERY EASY and you have a
lot more options that using a pre-packaged RPM and I would siggest the
OP to to that instead. (And install the latest gnu tar from source as
well, telling amanda to use the compiled gnu-tar instead with the
--with-gnu-tar configuration switch...)
