Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: file-roller
GNOME file-roller 2.18.1
tar (GNU tar) 1.16
When a tar archive of a directory with subdirectories is created from within
Nautilus using right-click > Create Archive, the resulting tar contains
duplicate subdirectories. Opening the archive in File Roller doesn't show the
duplicates. Extracting the archive doesn't produce any errors unless the
original directory structure used relative symlinks in such a way as to cause
some targets to be attempted to be extracted twice. The duplicates are
viewable from within Midnight Commander. Running File Roller directly and
creating a new archive does not result in duplicates in the tar. The only clue
is obtained by running Nautilus from a terminal:
(file-roller:7668): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_file_system_path_to_filename:
assertion `path != NULL' failed
** Affects: file-roller (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
