Comment # 14 on bug 836558 from Dirk Weber

Created attachment 851211 [details]
updated untar extfs (for mc-4.8.26 and below)

The original issue still exists with mc-4.8.26.

But mc-4.8.26 as in openSUSE Leap 15.3 can again work with archive members
starting with ./ if it gets them from an extfs module. 
Therefore add ./ to the beginning of filenames when needed, e.g. when the
filename starts with  [:blank:] or "-".

This version also works with mc versions < 4.8.26, but with mc-4.8.25 archive
members starting with [:blank:] or "-" will be skipped.

Improved escaping and improved usage of tar implementations other than GNU tar,
i.e. star and bsdtar.
