GNU tar extracting a member "a/./b" fails with ENOENT.
It is due to a bug in the emulation of openat2(), more
specifically when processing dotlike components,
resulting in openat() being called on "". Please see
the proposed attached patch.
Thanks for reporting the problem. I think I see the cause, and
installed the attached patch into Gnulib. Please give the patch a try.
If it doesn't fix things for you, please let us know the platform
you're running on. Also, it'd be nice to see a test case illustrating
the unfixed bug, e.g., in the form of a patch to tests/test-openat2.c.
Thank you. Works as expected.
