Title:
  Intermittent testsuite failure on (at least) amd64

Status in tar package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: tar

  tar occasionally fails the truncate test on (at least) amd64, as can
  be seen in the ubuntu-autotest logs at
  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
  autotest/2008-April/018799.html ... Note that a retry of this build
  (on the same machine, in the same build environment) succeeded, so
  reproducing this probably relies on performing several looping builds
  (or looking at the test itself to determine why it might be racy or
  time-of-day dependant)

  I'm marking this as low priority, since it's easily worked around by
  just reattempting the build, but it's still a bug, so should be filed
  until proven fixed.

  Note that this is *not* bug #25084, so please don't dupe it at such.
