<para>The Tar package provides the ability to create tar archives as well
as perform various other kinds of archive manipulation. Tar can be used on
previously created archives to extract files, to store additional files, or
to update or list files which were already stored. </para>

<para>This forces the test for <function>mknod</function> to be run
as <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>.
It is generally considered dangerous to run this test as
the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user, but as it
is being run on a system that has only been
partially built, overriding it is OK.</para>

<para>One test, capabilities: binary store/restore, is known to fail if it is
