Chris AtLee <[email protected]> added the comment:
It's caused by the combination of the symlink existing, and having the tarfile
opened in r| mode.
If I run the attached test file in a fresh directory, I get the following
exception:
raceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/catlee/.pyenv/versions/3.8.2/lib/python3.8/tarfile.py", line
2227, in makelink
os.symlink(tarinfo.linkname, targetpath)
FileExistsError: [Errno 17] File exists: 'message.txt' -> './symlink.txt'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
