[Bug-tar] tar --delete of folder does not work like in version 1.26

[Uecler Canli]

Hello,

in the version 1.26 I was able to delete a complete folder, with 1.27 it does not work.

linux:~/tar$ cat l

folderA

linux:~/tar$ tar -tf delTst.tar      

c.txt

f.txt

folderA/

folderA/A2.txt

folderA/A1.txt

folderA/A3.txt

folderB/

folderB/B3.txt

folderB/B2.txt

folderB/B1.txt

linux:~/tar$ tar --delete -f delTst.tar  -T l

linux:~/tar$ tar -tf delTst.tar      

c.txt

f.txt

folderA/A2.txt

folderA/A1.txt

folderA/A3.txt

folderB/

folderB/B3.txt

folderB/B2.txt

folderB/B1.txt

Only the entry folderA is deleted but not the files folderA/A1.txt A2.txt and A3.txt.

In the version 1.26 it looks like this after delete:

c.txt

f.txt

folderB/

folderB/B3.txt

folderB/B2.txt

folderB/B1.txt

No folderA anymore in the tar file.
