[New-bugs-announce] [issue31808] tarfile.extractall fails to overwrite symlinks

Wed Oct 18 04:29:35 EDT 2017

New submission from Frederic Beister <frederic.beister at googlemail.com>:

The fix for https://bugs.python.org/issue10761 somehow didn't make it into 3.5 and later - I have the same behavior as described there in 3.5.1 and 3.6.1 (tested on Ubuntu 16.04)
