I have seen this too and it only happens when the symlink is extracted
before the file it points to.
To reproduce:
touch myfile
ln -s myfile mylink
tar -cf testcase1.tar mylink myfile
If the file comes first (tar -cf testcase2.tar myfile mylink) it will work.
Thanks - interesting
On the surface I don't see why it's a problem to tar a link which
doesn't even have a destination file..? Dangling symlinks should be
something that is supported?
Also, curious why older tar code works, but newer is tickling this..
I'm beyond capacity with another project at the moment - thanks for
confirming the problem Natanael!
