tar error during RPI4 aarch64 installation, step 5

[mzan]

Hello.
I'm trying an installation on my Raspberry PI 4, following the instructions here
[url]https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/broadcom/raspberry-pi-4[/url]

I chose the AArch64 installation and I'm having a problem at step 5:

[quote]
# bsdtar -xpf ArchLinuxARM-rpi-aarch64-latest.tar.gz -C root
./usr/bin/newgidmap: Path contains '..': Unknown error -1
./usr/bin/newuidmap: Path contains '..': Unknown error -1
./var/lib/tpm2-tss/system/keystore/: Path contains '..': Unknown error -1
./var/log/journal/: Path contains '..': Unknown error -1
./var/log/journal/remote/: Path contains '..': Unknown error -1
bsdtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
[/quote]

Can someone help me please?
Thanks in advance...

What's your host? Try downloading the file again. I don't see any of those errors. Perhaps you SDcard (or other media) is bad.

Had the same problem with the exact same errors:
./usr/bin/newgidmap: Path contains '..': Unknown error -1
./usr/bin/newuidmap: Path contains '..': Unknown error -1
./var/lib/tpm2-tss/system/keystore/: Path contains '..': Unknown error -1
./var/log/journal/: Path contains '..': Unknown error -1
./var/log/journal/remote/: Path contains '..': Unknown error -1
bsdtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

I downloaded the file again and I have the same problem if I extract the archive to my HDD. Therefore I assume that there is a problem in the archive file.

I can confirm the reported issue ... different SD cards, exact same issue all over the place.

[WebReflection]

actually ... the error is [b]not RPi related[/b], the os .archlinuxarm .org/os/ArchLinuxARM-aarch64-latest .tar .gz variant produces the exact same error ... also I just witnessed an extremely awkward phpbb error.

[JoshStevens]

The ARMv7 that is in the guide is even worse, gives large amounts of the same type of errors (maybe change that)

[WebReflection]

FYI I've just tried again and every bsdtar error seems to be fixed now, I believe we should close this.

P.S. if you don't want surprises, also use 512MB boot vfat partition 'cause with 200M I had issues updating the OS.

Which makes me think something is wrong on your end, because the rootfs-tarballs haven't been updated since march of 2023.
