--- Comment #3 from Devid Antonio Filoni <devid.filoni at egluetechnologies.com> ---
To create a tarball that reproduces the issue you can use the following
commands:

~# cd /tmp/
/tmp# mkdir test
/tmp# touch test/a
/tmp# tar zcvf test.tar.gz test/a
test/a
/tmp# mkdir test2

/tmp# tar zxvf test.tar.gz -C test2/ test
test/a
tar: test: not found in archive



The tar works fine if it is created with the following command:

/tmp# tar zcvf test.tar.gz test
test/
test/a



In attaching a patch (based on busybox v1.31.1) that seems to fix the issue.
