+If a the number of hard links decreases or increases while creating
+the tar files used for an ipk package, tar fails with error code 1:
+
+| DEBUG: Executing python function do_package_ipk
+| tar: ./usr/src/debug/gperf/3.0.4-r0/gperf-3.0.4/src/main.cc: file changed as we read it
+NOTE: recipe gperf-3.0.4-r0: task do_package_write_ipk: Failed
+ERROR: Task 6539 (recipes-extended/gperf/gperf_3.0.4.bb, do_package_write_ipk) failed with exit code '1'
+
+
+We detect if the error code produced by tar is 1 and in this case ignore it.
+
+This a similar behavior to the one on dpkg:
