dpkg: use homebrew gtar in C programs
dpkg will call tar with options like --warning=no-timestamp, which OSX's tar does not support. We should specify TAR=gtar to ./configure so things like dpkg-scanpackages use the correct tar. Signed-off-by: Drew Fisher <zarvox@zarvox.org> Closes #29074. Signed-off-by: Misty De Meo <mistydemeo@gmail.com>
