With tar 1.27.1 (Ubuntu14), I noticed errors in a script that worked in 1.23 (RedHat6)
CWD is /path/to/script I used to do tar uf /path/to/script/subdir/archive.tar -C /path/to/files directoryA (in order to include /path/to/files/directoryA in the archive) But with tar 1.27.1, this does not work. I get tar: directoryA/file1: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: directoryA/file2: Cannot stat: No such file or directory So the -C is used since tar can list the files in the folder, but later they are not found I can do, (still from /path/to/archive with 1.27) tar uf /path/to/script/subdir/archive.tar -C /path/to/files directoryA/file1 directoryA/file2 and this works And if i chdir to /path/to/files, then the original command manages to find the files in the directory The original command worked from /path/to archive with tar 1.23
