This is a different issue. --use-compress-program is not
supported by bsdtar while -z is supported but broken for
certain inputs. One would like see supported features work
as advertised but this bug has been around for a while and I
have to assume the fix is difficult or whoever is fixing does
not have enough free time. Both are perfectly understandable
reasons!:-)
In this case may be it is easier to fix the port to use gtar?
