Thank you for the report!

Are you on Windows 10 or 7?

On the surface of it it looks like a possible path length limitation on Windows. Your path is about ~243 char long.

1. Can you try to rename "nia-npa-workflow-sl_master_20200218180521_5860907_B72.n0063.tar.gz" to "n.tgz" and move it to a new dir d:\a ? And then rerun the extract again with this?

2. Do you mind to try if this still happens with ScanCode 3.1.1 and Python 3.6.x?

These Windows long path issues should be all sorted out on the latest Python and Windows. Can you confirm?

Moving to extractcode too
