Hello, Please see attached tarkill.tar.gz and buildout profile. This tarball containts dead link: ls -l tarkill lrwxrwxrwx 1 luke users 4 2010-11-18 19:56 kill -> kill After running attached buildout profile and having python shell setuptools will enter infinite loop: line 67, in unpack_archive driver(filename, extract_dir, progress_filter) File "/srv/home/luke/python2.7/setup/eggs/setuptools-0.6c12dev_r85381-py2.7.egg/setuptools/archive_util.py", line 190, in unpack_tarfile member = tarobj._getmember(linkpath) File "/srv/home/luke/python2.7/parts/python2.7/lib/python2.7/tarfile.py", line 2357, in _getmember members = self.getmembers() File "/srv/home/luke/python2.7/parts/python2.7/lib/python2.7/tarfile.py", line 1801, in getmembers self._check() KeyboardInterrupt Attached workaround which breaks the loop, but I think that such deadlink shall be created, just like tar does it.
