The problem is you have an existing /usr/obj/gnu/usr.bin/tar/.depend
file.  In that file is a dependancy list for "tar".  BUT "tar" is now a
directory.

There was no reason for sobomax to get so fancy with this -- and this is
one case in point of the things that can go wrong.  I have a fix for
this; but I am waiting to hear back from sobomax before I commit it.
