Comment (by james.sumners@…):

 I just upgraded from OS 10.8.4 to OS 10.9.0. The gnutar binary (link?) is
 no longer present (even after installing the command line developer tools
 with Xcode):


 {{{
 $ ls -l /usr/bin/tar
 lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  6 Oct 23 11:41 /usr/bin/tar -> bsdtar
 $ ls -l /usr/bin/gnutar
 ls: /usr/bin/gnutar: No such file or directory
 }}}

 Linking bsdtar to gnutar seems to allow a `port update outdated` to work
 as expected.
