Subject: archive_write_disk_posix: Report correct error
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8ae9e937b7f5c94736bf0afac32a1b2053db7809;p=thirdparty%2Flibarchive.git

archive_write_disk_posix: Report correct error

When create_dir() fails to create a directory, it immediately checks to
see if the directory already exists, which can happen if it's been given
something like foo/../foo.  Unfortunately, this clobbers errno, which
means that create_dir() always reports ENOENT, regardless of the actual
error.  Fix this by only performing this extra check if errno is EEXIST,
then reset errno to either EEXIST or ENOTDIR depending on the outcome.
