[rpi2] bsdtar: Ignoring malformed pax extended attribute

[vo6oh3]

Guys, you need to use bsdtar version 3.3+

[Horloge]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('vo6oh3', 'G')uys, you need to use bsdtar version 3.3+

@vo6oh3 - Thanks. I'm compiling bsdtar 3.3.1 now so I'll see how it goes.

UPDATE: I tested ArchLinuxARM-rpi-latest.tar.gz with a newly compiled bsdtar 3.3.1 and it now works fine. Thanks.

Yes I confirm that extracting with 3.3+ is working without any error [but my my Pi is not booting anyway]...

I think you may close this forum, but it'd be good writing in CAPITAL LETTERS this requirement, mostly for Debian / Ubuntu users, 'cause they can't install bsdtar 3.3 with official repositories...

i change the "root" property,and passed
chmod g+w root
then bsdtar processed ok.

Got same error with a generic image, as other stated you need bsdtar 3.3+, here's a quick guide on debian (should be the same on ubuntu, tested on a new installation of debian 9 ):

if
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'bsdtar --version')
return bsdtar/libarchive <3.3 proceed with the following:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'su
apt install -y make cmake gcc
wget https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/archive/v3.3.1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf v3.3.1.tar.gz
cd libarchive-3.3.1
./configure
make
make install')
re-check version
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'bsdtar --version')
should be 3.3.1, now bsdtar should give no more errors.

There's not actually a configure script in that libarchive tarball...

This archive worked for me.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'wget https://www.libarchive.org/downloads/libarchive-3.3.1.tar.gz
tar xzf libarchive-3.3.1.tar.gz
cd libarchive-3.3.1
./configure
make
sudo make install')

I encountered the same issue on the pcduino3s. I used bsdtar from the 3.3.2 distribution and it worked as well. However, I don't understand why the archive must be packed

- using an exotic archive format
- requiring a very recent version of the archive tool

I agree with the previous posters that the fact that it requires bsdtar 3.3+ should be stated clearly in the installation manual.
