[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] rpmuncompress option `-C` does not work with some tar archives (Issue #3250)

[Panu Matilainen]

The issue is that the commons-io-2.16.1-src.tar.gz archive lacks an entry for top level directory entirely. This is visible with just 'tar', eg:

> $ tar tf commons-io-2.16.1-src.tar.gz|head -1
commons-io-2.16.1-src/CONTRIBUTING.md

...whereas normally in such cases there's a leading directory in it:
> $ tar tf zlib-1.2.13.tar.xz|head -1
zlib-1.2.13/
$ tar tf rpm-4.19.1.tar.bz2 |head -1
rpm-4.19.1/

I don't know what the tar spec says about that, or whether we can work around it in rpm.
