Public bug reported:
I tried extracting backup files created by duplicity/deja-dup.
Those programms create a folder deleted where files that were deleted are
stored, they all have size 0.
On extraction tar tries to handle those 0-byte files as directories and then
complains that those files are not directories.
I believe this is a problem with the size.
Can anyone confirm this?
Is there a workarround available?
Kind regards
Jens
