While upgrading the Slony port for FreeBSD, I found this error when
extracting files from slony1-2.1.4-docs.tar.bz2 using bsdtar 2.8.5 and
libarchive 2.8.5:

$ tar xvfz /usr/ports/distfiles/slony1-2.1.4-docs.tar.bz2 
x slony1-2.1.4/doc/adminguide/LEGALNOTICE.html
x slony1-2.1.4/doc/adminguide/additionalutils.html

x slony1-2.1.4/doc/adminguide/slony.pdf
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

Apparently, two versions of performance.html exist, and one is a link to
itself:

$ tar tvfz /usr/ports/distfiles/slony1-2.1.4-docs.tar.bz2 | grep
performance.html

slony1-2.1.4/doc/adminguide/performance.html
hrw-r--r--  0 ssinger ssinger      0 Aug 16 00:09
slony1-2.1.4/doc/adminguide/performance.html link to
slony1-2.1.4/doc/adminguide/performance.html

This error is ignored by GNU tar, so a simple workaround is to use
archivers/gtar to unpack the docs tarball.
