[issue5151] extractall method for TarFile objects not setting owner:group on directories

New submission from Nicholas Patterson <nicholas_patterson@agilent.com>:

Used the TarFile object to create a bzip2 compressed tar file (seems to
have worked fine). Then used the extractall method to restore the
archive in a new location. All the files appear to have the same
permissions and owner:group as before, but most of the directories
('state' is only exception) have different permissions and the
owner:group are set to the UID that was running the script in this case
root:root.

Does the problem exist in 2.6 still? If you can't determine that easily,
can you please provide a reproducible test case (e.g. some tar(1)
created tar file plus a Python script)

This is probably a duplicate of issue1735, which was fixed in r59713,
i.e. between 2.5.1 and 2.5.2. Are you by any chance using Python 2.5.1?

Using 2.5.0 on SLES 10 servers and 2.5.1 on Solaris 10 servers. Have only tested SLES so far since that's our main platform.

Could you try to do a test with the patch from issue1735? It is rather
trivial to apply.

Yep that fixed it, sorry to have used up your time. Still a bit new to the search feature on the site, didn't notice the form defaulted to only searching on open bugs/issues.
