New submission from Patrick von Reth :
when extracting http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.0d.tar.gz with
python3.2 on windows 7 extraction fails with
File "C:\python32\lib\tarfile.py", line 2175, in extract
set_attrs=set_attrs)
File "C:\python32\lib\tarfile.py", line 2259, in _extract_member
self.makelink(tarinfo, targetpath)
File "C:\python32\lib\tarfile.py", line 2359, in makelink
targetpath)
File "C:\python32\lib\tarfile.py", line 2251, in _extract_member
self.makefile(tarinfo, targetpath)
File "C:\python32\lib\tarfile.py", line 2292, in makefile
target = bltn_open(targetpath, "wb")
IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: 'R:\\tmp\\os\\openssl-1.0.0d\\apps\\md4.c'
the reason is that the symlink is broken
R:\>dir R:\tmp\os\openssl-1.0.0d\apps\md4.c
Volume in drive R has no label.
Volume Serial Number is E8F0-7223
Directory of R:\tmp\os\openssl-1.0.0d\apps
02.01.2012 20:13 md4.c [../crypto/md4/md4.c]
it must be backslashes instead of front slashes and that's why python cant
access the file the symlink is pointing to.
