Subject: tar corrupts archives when deleting a not-present file
X-Mailer: reportbug 1.50
Date: Tue, 04 Jun 2002 14:36:30 -0700

Package: tar
Version: 1.13.25-2
Severity: normal
this is *terrible*:
# create a tar file with files "a" and "b"
% mkdir test
% echo "hello" > test/a
% echo "hello" > test/b
% tar cv test/ > test.tar
# remove a non-existant file:
% file test.tar
test.tar: GNU tar archive
% tar f test.tar --delete "biteme"
tar: biteme: Not found in archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
% file test.tar
test.tar: data
test.tar is now corrupted! this is _awful_ considering how finicky tar
is about accepting filenames for deletion. not finding a filename is a
pretty common occurance. having your tarfile corrupted is a VERY
painful punishment.
this _needs_ to be changed. tar should do a read-only operation to make
sure the file exists before doing any writing...
