Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: binutils
Ubuntu 9.04
binutils 2.19.1-0ubuntu3
When a thin archive pulls in another archive, the members are appended
unconditionally instead of checking for duplicates.
Setup:
$ touch somefile
$ ar rcT intermediate
Repeating this will only ever add the file once:
$ ar rcT final somefile
But repeating this will add the file again every time.
$ ar rcT final intermediate
** Affects: binutils (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
