Created attachment 55525 [details]
An archive with a relative soft link

Version:           2.14 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

When Ark opens a TAR item for preview and the item happens to be a soft link, Ark does not bother to read the linked file, reporting an error instead.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Tell Ark to open the enclosed archive bug.tar.
  2. Tell Ark to display README.

Actual Results:  
  2. File README could not be read.  Ark shows an empty document.

Expected Results:  
  2. Let Ark display the file bug.txt instead.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop
Compiler: gcc
