We use a package system that we call APM but it's really
just a plain old tar file. If I try to delete a file in the
tar file called "archive" it deletes a lot more than it should :
# tar tvf filename.apm
-rw-r--r-- williams/users 3 2001-09-28 12:35:44 apm_version
-rw-r--r-- williams/users 5 2001-09-28 12:35:44 compression_method
-rw-r--r-- williams/users 3 2001-09-28 12:35:48 name
-rw-r--r-- williams/users 6 2001-09-28 12:35:48 version
-rw-r--r-- williams/users 24 2001-09-28 12:35:48 description
-rw-r--r-- williams/users 13 2001-09-28 12:35:48 requires
-rw-r--r-- williams/users 1385 2001-09-28 12:35:48 install_script

-rw-r--r-- williams/users 10 2001-09-28 12:35:48 build_date
-rw-r--r-- williams/users 256000 2001-09-28 12:36:11 archive
# tar f filename.apm --delete archive
# tar tvf filename.apm
-rw-r--r-- williams/users 3 2001-09-28 12:35:44 apm_version
-rw-r--r-- williams/users 5 2001-09-28 12:35:44 compression_method
Any suggestions? I can't find anything in the documentation that
could explain this, so for now I'm treating it as a bug :)
PS: If there is a gnu-tar mailing list (bug list or announce list) that
I should be following for things like this can you let me know?
Thanks
