tar: Couldnt remove old file: Is a directory
if the folder already exists it die's I do not
think this is expected behavior.. Probably
should stat and see if it is a directory then
handle that case differently..
the offending code is in
data_extract_all
/* Check if the file already exists */
if (archive_handle->flags & ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_UNCONDITIONAL) {
/* Remove the existing entry if it exists */
if ((unlink(file_header->name) == -1) && (errno != ENOENT)) {
bb_perror_msg_and_die("Couldnt remove old file %s",file_header->name);
}
}
