Re: tar hangs on unpacking calcoo_1.3.16.orig.tar
I wonder if some process has created the file in
question and still has it open. Then a call to
create, and a call to unlink, will both fail.
You might not see the file until the process
closes it or dies ...
Just a wondering ...
The procexp tool from sysinternals.com might
reveal an open file handle ...
