So, I've been playing around with this for some time. "make check" doesn't always give the same results. Sometimes test 23 fails, sometimes 28 fails, and sometimes both pass. I didn't see 27 fail anymore. So, I've ran test 28 manual several times. Note that all my manual tests were actually with 1.15.91-1, so this isn't specific to 1.15.91-2. It seems that the created tar files are good, but during extraction it doesn't always react the same. Running this several times with the same files: rm -r foo; tar xfg arch.1 /dev/null; tar xfg arch.2 /dev/null; echo "List"; find foo | sort I ussually get: foo/ foo/a/ foo/b/ foo/c/ List foo foo/a foo/a/filec foo/b foo/b/filea foo/c foo/c/fileb foo/file1 foo/file2 But sometimes I get: foo/ tar: Deleting `foo/a' tar: Deleting `foo/b' tar: Deleting `foo/c' foo/a/ foo/b/ foo/c/ List foo foo/a foo/b foo/c foo/file1 foo/file2 For some reason the longer I'm trying this, the harder it gets to reproduce this.
