+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

+After uninstalling, run this command to unregister the package from
+the ghc package database: ghc-pkg recache
