Bug ID: 477806
Summary: When overwriting a file in the archive, it can put the
file in the wrong location resulting in 2 files.
Classification: Applications
Product: ark
Version: 23.08.1
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: elvis.angelac...@kde.org
Reporter: jordanplayz158ag...@gmail.com
CC: aa...@kde.org, rthoms...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When you add a file to an archive (`.tar.zst` archive in this instance but
specific type may not be relevant) with the same name as a file in the archive,
I have an archive with a file under `etc/vzdump/pct.conf` and I extracted it,
modified it and placed it back inside the archive in the same spot to overwrite
it but this caused an issue in another application
(https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/changing-the-config-for-an-lxc-backup.135967/#post-611512)
as even though ark shows that there is only 1 file for `etc/vzdump/pct.conf`,
in reality there is now 2, as seen by this output:
```
tar tf vzdump-lxc-115-2023_10_21-12_18_42.tar.zst | grep vzdump
etc/vzdump/pct.conf
./etc/vzdump/pct.conf
./etc/vzdump/pct.fw
```
The GUI does not show this second file and the settings don't seem to have an
option related to this. I assume this stems from a bug in Ark where it either
does not know about the 2 files, it uses the first file it grabs and ignores
the other occurrence(s) or it ignores files with `./` in the tar archive if one
without './' is found. Grabs the first occurrence probably makes the most sense
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make a `.tar.zst` archive with a file using `tar -cf Archive.tar.zst
./example.txt`
2. Verify files in the archive
```
tar tf Archive.tar.zst
./example.txt
```
3. Modify the file `example.txt`
4. Open the archive in Ark and drag the file into the archive, when it asks to
overwrite, click overwrite
5. Verify the files in the archive again
```
tar tf Archive.tar.zst
example.txt
./example.txt
```
OBSERVED RESULT
There are 2 files, one with leading `./` and one without.
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be 1 file matching the leading `./` of the file it replaced.
