+This library is for working with ".tar" archive files. It can read and
+write a range of common variations of archive format including V7,
+USTAR, POSIX and GNU formats. It provides support for packing and
+unpacking portable archives. This makes it suitable for distribution
+but not backup because details like file ownership and exact
+permissions are not preserved.
+
+This requires ghc.
+
+After uninstalling, run this command to unregister the package from
+the ghc package database: ghc-pkg recache
