[issue15858] tarfile missing entries due to omitted uid/gid fields

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

Yes I think you are right. With Python 3.5.0:

$ python3 -c 'import tarfile; print(tarfile.open("bad.tar").getnames())'
['foo', 'foo/a']
$ python3 -m tarfile --list bad.tar
foo/ 
foo/a 

The proposed fix here is slightly different: truncate from the first space, rather than trailing whitespace.

resolution:  -> out of date
stage: test needed -> resolved
status: open -> closed
superseder:  -> tarfile fails to extract archive (handled fine by gnu tar and bsdtar)
