This happened to me when I unpacked base like this:

cd /
tar -zxvf /path/to/base

I then re-did the job, like so:

cd /

tar --unlink -zxvpf /path/to/base

...and the problem went away.

    Never mind, there's a good film showing tonight,
    Where they hang everybody who can read and write,
    But that could never happen here,
    But then again, it might.
