[Bug-tar] Some kind of bug in tar utility....

[Scott Fletcher]

Hi!

 

            When I attempt to decompress the tar achieve file, it worked fine but problems are noticeable.  Upon further inspection, it is found that when I did the compression using the tar utility, it left out a few files and a few other files was placed in the wrong file path.  This would explain the problem.  For some reason, when compressing and decompressing them (files/directories), there were no errors that were spitted out to the screen.  So, I downloaded the latest version and the help a little bit but the problem is still there.  I’m using the latest version at 1.14 which I downloaded from www.gnu.org.

 

            Tell me what I need to do to help you with the bug reports?  I would like to have this working whenever possible.

 

Thanks,
