Description of problem: When extracting a cpio archive and attempting to preserve timestamps, the timestamps of soft links are not preserved. This results in erroneous date differences between the cpio archive and its extracted content. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cpio-2.12-4.fc26.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.cd /usr/lib 2.find . -depth -print0 | cpio --null -pmvd /tmp/test.cpio 3.ls -l /usr/lib 4.ls -l /tmp/test.cpio Actual results: timestamp for normal files and directories is preserved, but not for soft links Expected results: timestamp for all files preserved Additional info: Example file /usr/lib/issue

This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle. Changing version to '31'.

This issue is not fixed in upstream yet, as this bug appears also in fedora-rawhide, which has the current released version.
Issue already fixed in f32, f33, f34, no response from upstream yet
