HI Sebastien, Sure. Here is a zip file that it's very easy to use to reproduce the defect. The defect s not in the bsdtar, it's in libarchive. However, since bsdtar depends on libarchive, this can be used to demonstrate the problem as someone reports in the GitHub issue report:
https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/issues/822 If you try to extract the content with bsdtar: # bsdtar -vxf example.zip You will see and error, and if you look to the result in the filesystem, that 'ABCD_1234' and 'empty' are created as files instead of directories. If you try the same operation using unzip in other directory (or after cleaning the previous operation): # unzip example.zip You will see the right result (ABCD_1234 and empty directories). Thanks for take care of this, Alejandro ** Attachment added: "example.zip" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libarchive/+bug/1830629/+attachment/5268728/+files/example.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to libarchive in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830629 Title: Errors when extracting ZIP files. It can not differentiate between files and directories Status in libarchive package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The specific version included in Ubuntu 18.04 (libarchive 3.2.2) is the only version that presents the problem. This version has a known problem when reading file entries in ZIP files, where it incorrectly identifies directories and files entries. It has been confirmed that the previous and following versions (3.3.1+) do not have this problem and the library handles the ZIP files correctly. Is it possible to include a newer version of libarchive (3.3.1+) in Bionic? This problem is seriously affecting some of our systems.
