[Bug 1111668] Re: steam installer: tar crashed with SIGSEGV in time()

[Dave Gilbert]

This is actually a bug in steam; see https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/1075
which says it's fixed.
(It seems to be running tar with it's own copy of libraries - which I don't think is safe).

** Summary changed:

- tar crashed with SIGSEGV in time()
+ steam installer: tar crashed with SIGSEGV in time()

** Changed in: tar (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid
