tar in achives containing './' in path (for example) libpcap-0.8.1/./bpf/net/bpf_filter.c tar strips anything before './'. This results in incorrect unpacking: file bpf/net/bpf_filter.c created but correctly need to be libpcap-0.8.1/bpf/net/bpf_filter.c Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create dir tmp 2. cd tmp 3. tar xzf /usr/portage/distfiles/libpcap-0.8.1.tar.gz 4. ls Actual Results: you see content of libpcap-0.8.1 (NOT directory itself) Expected Results: you must see libpcap-0.8.1 itself with its content WITHIN IT Portage 2.0.49-r20 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.3_pre20031222-r0, 2.4.23) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.23 i686 Celeron (Coppermine) Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.12 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/alias /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp3.linux.kiev.ua/pub/Linux/Gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://ftp3.linux.kiev.ua/pub/Linux/Gentoo/portage" USE="X apm avi berkdb cdr crypt directfb esd fbcon foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 guile imlib jpeg libg++ libwww mad maildir matrox mikmod mmx motif mozilla moznocompose moznoirc moznomail mpeg mysql ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pda pdflib perl png postgres python qt quicktime readline ruby sdl slang spell sse ssl tcltk tcpd truetype x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib video_cards_matrox"
