Description Dexuan Cui 2011-02-20 21:46:31 UTC 
Some logs are:

The bug is there since Mark's commit 3e6d91ec, but the commit itself looks ok.

What's odd is: qemumips failed here while qemux86 and qemuarm are ok, and I can't reproduce the issue locally...

routerstationpro and atom-pc also have the same failure as qemumips.
Comment 1 Richard Purdie 2011-02-21 10:06:47 UTC 
I have tracked down this problem to problems in tar versions less that 1.24. I've submitted some fixes to ensure we always have tar 1.25 available before extracting anything potentially with this problem (symlinks).

I don't meet with the bug now.
