Lars Gustäbel <l...@gustaebel.de> added the comment: Victor, you misunderstood the pax definition, but it wouldn't harm tarfile if it knew how to handle these corrupt GNU tar archives. In the meantime I filed a bug report on bug-...@gnu.org for this.
I said in msg105085 that POSIX gives no advice on how to handle broken filename encodings, but it does in POSIX:2008. libarchive (bsdtar) uses the way that is described there. The solution is to use a field called "hdrcharset".
