New submission from Scott Leerssen <sleers...@gmail.com>: I'm opening this as a continuation of issue10761 since it was closed as fixed, and there's a bit more work to do there.
The fix for issue10761 was incomplete. It did not handle the case where the symlink being overwritten did not resolve to another file (i.e. a "broken" link). It also did not address the same issues with hard links. The comments starting at http://bugs.python.org/issue10761#msg135924 detail the updates needed to complete this fix. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 136091 nosy: Scott.Leerssen priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: tarfile.extractall fails to overwrite unresolved symlinks and hard links type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12088> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
