When trying to extract a file multiple times I get the misleading error "Not found in archive".
Here are the steps to reproduce the problem: $ touch test $ tar cvf t.tar test $ rm -f test $ tar xf t.tar test test tar: test: Not found in archive tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors The tar file is regularly present and its contents verified. In fact when using $ tar xf t.tar test the process completes successfully. I tried also with the --overwrite function without luck. The same applies also when using folders. What do you think? The error is misleading, I would expect an error due to the presence of the file when tar is trying to extract the second name in the command line. Is this a bug? Fabio
