Hi, We've just discovered something interesting about tar.
We use tar --delete -f arc.tar file1 file2 file3 to prune unnecessary stuff from archive. The list is formed automatically. accidentally we've run into a condition when the list is empty. so the command looks like: tar --delete -f 1.tar in this case it does not complain about anything. It just silently corrupts the archive. Always in different ways (for one archive it destroys a half of the contents of certain file, for another - destroy some files completely). Well.. just wanted to infom, Please confirm if it's really bug and if there are ways to walk it around. Thanks.
