GNU tar has been updated to the latest upstream release 1.33.
This is a new upstream release. Upstream release notes can be found
alongside other documentation in /usr/share/doc/tar/.
ZStandard compression support is enabled in this release.

GNU Tar provides the ability to create tar archives, as well as various
other kinds of manipulation. For example, you can use Tar on previously
created archives to extract files, to store additional files, or to
update or list files which were already stored.
Initially, tar archives were used to store files conveniently on
magnetic tape. The name "Tar" comes from this use; it stands for tape
archiver. Despite the utility's name, Tar can direct its output to
available devices, files, or other programs (using pipes), it can even
access remote devices or files (as archives).

Unfortunately it has reintroduced this old bug:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2011-08/msg00006.html
This happens when symlinks are located before the target in the source
archive. The example given in the above link produces this output:
$ tar -xf directory.tar
tar: directory/1: Cannot change mode to rwxr-xr-x: No such file or directory
tar: directory/2: Cannot change mode to rwxr-xr-x: No such file or directory
tar: directory/3: Cannot change mode to rwxr-xr-x: No such file or directory
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
Note that files and symlinks are properly extracted, but $? is set to 2 so
scripts can fail.
tar 1.32-2 : ok
tar 1.33-1 : bug
This needs to be fixed.
Regards,

It's quite unlikely the same bug since there is actually a test for that.

Cannot reproduce.
