[OE-core] [PATCH 3/3] dpkg: fix host contamination

From: Dan McGregor <dan.mcgregor at usask.ca>

Force dpkg to use "tar" on the target.

The dpkg configure script looks for gnutar, gtar, and
tar in order. If it finds gnutar or gtar on the host
it expects to use that as its tar program on the target.
Without this, if gtar exists (as it does on my system) then
dpkg will consistently fail on the target with an error about
gtar not being found.
