Package: tar Version: 1.28-2.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I noticed tar showing an error with files which contain some backslashes. Example: user@pc:~$ touch '\\' user@pc:~$ tar -cf test.tar '\\' or user@pc:~$ touch \\\\ user@pc:~$ tar -cf test.tar \\\\ Output: tar: \\: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors But: user@pc:~$ touch \\ user@pc:~$ tar -cf test.tar \\ works. and: user@pc:~$ touch '\' user@pc:~$ tar -cf test.tar '\' works Best regards -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=es_ES.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages tar depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.52-2 ii libc6 2.21-6 ii libselinux1 2.4-3 tar recommends no packages.
