Description

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

OS/Web Information

Not-relevant

Steps to Reproduce

  1. download any release e.g. code-server-4.11.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz
  2. folder /lib/vscode/extensions/node_modules/.bin contains broken links pointing to /lib/vscode/extensions/node_modules/typescript/bin that is not existing

Expected

The tar archives shouldn't contain broken symlinks as that can break certain archiving tools.
Manually untarring the file will work, but not all similar tools will.

Actual

The tar archives contain broken symlinks resulting in errors when extracting the archive with certain tools
