Trace of crash

When pakfire installs a package, we don't overwrite any existing directories. To achieve that we unpack all tar archives with --no-overwrite-dir. That doesn't work any more. tar just crashes.

I will revert the update for now. We probably need to file a bug report upstream and wait for a new release.

See the attached trace. Works fine without the option.

OUCH!

I tested 1.31, but not with Pakfire... Duh!

Nevertheless, I tried to file a bug report and it worked.
