Actually, aptitude-create-state-bundle still exits with 0 and the file
is still generated. So it's a really, really minor and cosmetic issue.

Done that now in the master branch. It actually has no impact on the
resulting file. It just downgrades tar's output from "error" to
"warning".

It will be fixed in the next aptitude upstream release. This will
probably be 0.8.14. It is not fixed in the 0.8.13-2 package I just
uploaded with a patch to fix a FTBFS.
