Well if it is that easy to create the situation, i can test what happens on restoring the tarball: $ tar cvf test.tar x x x x $ rm x rm: remove regular file ‘x’? y $ tar xvf test.tar x x $ ls -1 test.tar x No error messages. This is the behavior promised by https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/multiple.html for the case of later adding a newer version of the same file to the tarball. Have a nice day :) Thomas
