Hi

CentOS 8 does not have a package for pax. It does have a package for
bsdtar.

Is bsdtar sufficient for the tests? I don't call the precise issue we
favored pax over
GNU tar.

If so, could testsuites/libtests/configure.ac accept both?

Pax appears to be used only for the dl* and tar* tests. I had thought about
it
not being a hard fail but those seem like bad tests to drop out.
