Package: tar
Version: 1.19-1
Severity: important

Yesterday trying to move my root fs to a new location, while doing these
steps:

mount -o bind,ro / /mnt/mnt
cd /mnt/mnt
tar -cO . | tar -xC ../newplace

The result was about fifty or more persent of symlinks were damaged at a 
new location. In a place of symlink there was a file with the same name 
and a zero size. After the second try I saw that symlink do not damages 
regulary and those were killed in the first try can be copied in the 
second but not the all.
