[New-bugs-announce] [issue16645] Wrong test_extract_hardlink() in test_tarfile.py

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

Test test_extract_hardlink() in Lib/test/test_tarfile.py ran 4 times. First time (uncompressed tarfile) it extract symbolic and hard links successfully, but in other 3 times (gzipped, bzipped and lzma'ed tarfile) extracting fails becouse this links already exists (left from first test). The test just ignore this error and other possible errors (error EEXIST raised, but ignored all except ENOENT).

Here is a patch, which adds a right cleanup of extracted links.
