tar xvf works as well as tar tvf?  It sounds like bsdtar is
refusing to recreate the symlink on disk.

Most tar entries don't store a link count, so it shows up
as zero.  Apparently, the two symlink entries are getting
stored with pax format for some reason.  (The 'pax' format
is an extension to 'ustar'; a single archive can mix entries
in different formats.  By default, bsdtar prefers 'ustar',
using 'pax' only for entries that require it.)

Sounds like 'tar' inside the chroot is different than the
one outside.  You've probably found a bug in the newest
RELENG_6 tar.

Can you email me the troublesome package file?

I'll also try to reproduce this here.

Thanks,
