Hi Tristan, Thanks for your report. However, I can't reproduce this behavior. The command
tar xavf news002f1.tar.bz2 --wildcards '*trek*' terminates with code 2 and the following diagnostics: src/tar: news002f1/b5/net.startrek/24: Cannot hard link to 'news002f1/b5/net.sf-lovers/141': No such file or directory src/tar: news002f1/b5/net.startrek/38: Cannot hard link to 'news002f1/b5/net.sf-lovers/161': No such file or directory ../src/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors Regards, Sergey
