Thanks for your report. However, I can't reproduce this behavior.
The command
tar xavf news002f1.tar.bz2 --wildcards '*trek*'
terminates with code 2 and the following diagnostics:
src/tar: news002f1/b5/net.startrek/24: Cannot hard link to
'news002f1/b5/net.sf-lovers/141': No such file or directory
src/tar: news002f1/b5/net.startrek/38: Cannot hard link to
'news002f1/b5/net.sf-lovers/161': No such file or directory
../src/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
Perhaps it depends on the OS or filesystem?
I am using Linux 6.9.1 (x86_64) with an ext4 filesystem.
Regards,
Tristan
