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

[Eric Floehr]

Eric Floehr added the comment:

I have attached a patch file for test_tarfile.py that uses the attached 'bad.tar' to test this issue.

After applying this test patch, put 'bad.tar' in Lib/test with the name 'issue15858.tar'.

This tests Tarfile.next(), but the issue can be seen via the command line interface, which uses .next() under the covers:

Pre-patch:
$ ./python -m tarfile -l Lib/test/issue15858.tar 
foo/ 

Post-patch:
$ ./python -m tarfile -l Lib/test/issue15858.tar 
foo/ 
foo/a
