Comment 3 for bug 1570304

Re-running the restore of the failed level seems to solve the "Directory not empty" error.

For example, assuming you follow the exact procedure described in the previous comment:

The first restore of level1 gives:

  plop@ubuntu:~/testtar/restdir$ tar -xzv --incremental -f ../level1
  ./
  tar: Cannot rename ‘./dir1’ to ‘./dir2’: Directory not empty
  ./dir2/
  tar: Deleting ‘./dir2/file2’
  tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

With this state:

  plop@ubuntu:~/testtar/restdir$ ls dir1
  file1
  plop@ubuntu:~/testtar/restdir$ ls dir2
  plop@ubuntu:~/testtar/restdir$

After re-running the restore a second time, we get:

  plop@ubuntu:~/testtar/restdir$ tar -xzv --incremental -f ../level1
  ./
  ./dir2/

With this state:

  plop@ubuntu:~/testtar/restdir$ ls dir1
  ls: cannot access dir1: No such file or directory
  plop@ubuntu:~/testtar/restdir$ ls dir2
  file1
