Hi Federico, Trying to reproduce your results on current git HEAD, I get the following:
1. Extraction fails. 2. Exit status is 2. 3. Diagnostics on stderr: tar: Cannot rename 'root/alias' to 'root/b': No such file or directory tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors 4. After extraction, root/new/parent/b/victim is a hardlink to root/b/victim 5. No files outside the extraction directory are created. FWIW, I got the same results when running tar 1.35. Best regards, Sergey
