Subject:   cpio - Cannot extract through symlink
Message-ID:  <20170302124428.GA70192@www.stare.cz>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
This is 11.0-RELEASE-p1 (i386) on an old HP Compaq (dmesg below).
I am having problems trying to copy files with cpio:

 $ cd /tmp
 $ touch foo
 $ ls foo
 foo
 $ ls foo | cpio -pud ~
 cpio: foo: Cannot extract through symlink /home/hans/foo
 0 blocks

What "symlink"? The cpio(1) only mentions symlinks in -L,
imho not relevant here, it's a regular file, and --insecure

   --insecure
	(i and p mode only) Disable security checks during
	extraction or copying.  This allows extraction via
	symbolic links, absolute paths, and path names
	containing `..' in the name.

Yes, it works with

 $ ls foo | cpio --insecure -pud ~ 

but I would very much like to avoid the unportable --insecure.
How is /tmp/foo supposed to get copied to $HOME 'via symlink' anyway?
Am I missing something obvious?

	Jan
