I looked at your message and the patch, seems okay for the case of testing if 
the symlink is broken and performing the next steps. I shall commit it soon.

[issue12088] tarfile.extractall fails to overwrite unresolved symlinks and hard links

[Scott Leerssen]

New submission from Scott Leerssen :

I'm opening this as a continuation of issue10761 since it was closed as fixed, 
and there's a bit more work to do there.

The fix for issue10761 was incomplete.  It did not handle the case where the 
symlink being overwritten did not resolve to another file (i.e. a "broken" 
link).  It also did not address the same issues with hard links.

The comments starting at http://bugs.python.org/issue10761#msg135924 detail the 
updates needed to complete this fix.
