>Description:
pax/tar ignore filenames that contain `..' as a path component.
(It's OK. Very secure.)
And ignore symlinks that contain `..' in symlink target, too!
(It's WRONG!, isn't it?)
e.g.) cdrtools-1.10.tar.gz (pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrecord)
:
lrwxrwxrwx joerg/bs 0 Jul 21 22:35 2000 cdrtools-1.10/inc/getfp.c -> ../lib/getfp.c
:
This symlink is ignored. Of course, make package is always fail.
>How-To-Repeat:
See Description.
>Fix:
I don't know. Please fix this bug ASAP!
