Title:
  Inconsistency in the man page regarding created archive file

Status in tar package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is just a minor mistake, but still worth correcting, I think.

  In the man page for tar_1.29b-2_amd64 and also tar_1.30+dfsg-2_amd64,
  the first command demonstrating the option styles is

      tar cfv a.tar /etc

  which creates the archive a.tar. In the text, however, it is said to
  create the file etc.tar.
