[Pkg-mc-devel] Bug#479548: [VFS] tar archives show multiple entries if archive was created with --append/--update

[Michelle Konzack]

Package: mc
Version: any
Severity: normal

Hello Maintainer,

if a TAR archive was created with the --append or  --update  option  and
someone use "mc" to look into the file, he/she will  encounter  multiple
directory and file entries and by selecting all of them for  extraction,
he/she will be warned for overwriting an already extracted file...

First I was looking into  "/usr/share/mc/extfs/utar"  but  it  does  not
exist (it is handled internaly) which mean, I can not send  a  patch  to
it.

Note:   I am working on a "tar" vfs which allow  --append  and  --update
        but it is  something  complicate  if  the  file  is  compressed.
        Unfortunately it will not be finished before  release  of  Lenny
        since because of my destructed appartement I am handicaped.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
