Hi, with the latest tar 1.33 I noticed an error when adding symlinks twice to an archive. The following did not produce an error with tar 1.32.
$ mkdir -p broken/subdir $ ln -s ../a/target broken/subdir/link $ tar cvf broken.tar broken/subdir/link broken/subdir/link broken/subdir/link broken/subdir/link $ tar vxf broken.tar broken/subdir/link broken/subdir/link tar: broken/subdir/link: Cannot hard link to ‘broken/subdir/link’: No such file or directory tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors Obviously, adding the same file twice is not such a great idea but should this produce an error? Thanks, julian PS: This is tar 1.33 from archlinux which appears to be unpatched. (Same happens with tar 1.33 from conda-forge.)
